New Update Released
Hi
New update dropped!
Hope yall enjoy.
It’s a small one this time around. (5k words)
I feel a little burnt out, and i feel like i shouldn’t tackle the Battle of Silverhill right now I’m my state. It’ll probably not be that bad once i get into the thick of it, but just the thought of it feels a bit overwhelming right now, so ima take a step back in regards to updates to the main story for now. Besides I need make extra stuff for the battle so my vision looks complete.
I added the isekai op start, big boost to the the stats of attributes and education. I haven’t yet added the typo and grammar mistakes yet that were submitted through discord, again, feel a lil burnt out from looking at the same work over and over lol.
Ima focus more on the patreon side of things for now as they’ve supported me even though i have a limited amount of stuff to offer there, and i plan on finally getting to building a library there. Itll be nice to just write what i want and further expand the world I’ve created. Maybe that’ll kill the writer’s block and burnt out feeling i have. Sounds weird right? Burnt out but wanna write other stuff?? Thats weird.
Anyways.
Hope everyone stays safe!

dya have any tips of getting out of writing rumps (is that the term?)
im currently not stuck, but demotivated to write the introduction to this chapter im working on. i feel like if i get past this, itll be smooth sailing, but i dont want to write the part that comes after before the part that comes before because things might change as i write the before part.
To be honest, I lump this in with writer’s blocks. Mostly because this is the most common block I experience!
If you could JUST get past this one bit you don’t want to write, everything will fall into place. Or at least, that’s what it feels like.
But for me personally, if I try to force myself past it, it makes the next part harder to write. Followed by the one after that, and then the one after that… it doesn’t feel like there’s an end. And maybe you feel bad for not updating for ages. I know I do sometimes. But I’m gonna let you in on something-
It’s so much easier to write that next part if you sit and wait.
Maybe write some drabbles. Something that isn’t related to the work at hand, something small. Nothing big. Maybe it could just be some character quotes, maybe a poem. But I find that if I sit and wait it out, while thinking about it in the “I’m not going to write it right now” mentality, it becomes easier when my brain switches back into the “we’re writing it right now” mentality.
We write for fun. For our own entertainment. We willingly share it with others so that they can take part in it, too. Forcing ourselves to write when we don’t want to write is destructive and will make things worse. Sometimes you need to take that break. It’s something I had to learn the hard way, but I fully embrace it now because I know that when I do get in the writing mood, I write often enough that I can get a chapter out every other day.
It’s coming. You just have to keep your fingers warm while you wait. And it might be hard, and you might be frustrated, but CHOOSING to wait for it and sticking with it and knowing that waiting is your current plan is better than planning to force yourself to write it and then… not writing it. For me, that worsens my mental health horribly. As long as I get a sentence or two down when I sit down to look over it- for ANY work- it’s okay.
So I guess in short- just take it one step at a time. Be patient. Do your best to not worry or stress about it, because at heart we are writers. And when we want to write, we will write masterpieces.
Note: this applies for artists too I’m pretty sure! Just do a few small doodles every now and then, or just draw a weird kamoji you saw.
Second note: this method won’t work for everyone, or people might disagree with my methods. This is just something that I’ve found that works for me.

do you have any tips for beginner writers/writing blogs? Im not gonna start a writing blog or something im just bored so i hope you dont mind me asking these random questions 😭😭
i seperated the two👍👍 the writing advice are personal tips that work for me so sorry if they arent too helpful
tips for beginner writing blogs !
[01.] if you take requests, please set boundaries on what you wont write and what you will write
— this is so people won't yk request anything that makes you uncomfortable and so you won't have to tell them that you don't wanna write this or that.
[02.] remember to specify what fandom/s youre writing for
[03.] make a navigation post!!
— its basically a pinned post where you can set rules, boundaries, status, etc. u should also link your masterlist there
[04.] speaking of that, dont be lazy, make a masterlist.
— it'll be easier for the readers to find certain fics they'll like. you also don't have to do this but i'd recommend to state the genre, the pronouns of the reader, etc.
[05.] if your inbox is starting to get overwhelming, feel free to turn off your asks/requests.
[06.] if youre a multifandom writer and cant seem to get any requests from the other fandoms, write!!
— request or no request, write. be creative!! hcs, oneshots, preferences, anything,, write a good load of them and itll attract the enjoyers:))
[07.] putting trigger warnings on your posts is also crucial
[08.] remember you have every right to ignore or simply not do a request. don't feel pressured
tips for writing !
[01.] writer's block is a thing, dont force it if you feel as though writing isnt as fun as it was anymore
[02.] if youre running out of ideas you can always search up prompts from the internet!
— or you can take it some time. for me i get ideas randomly just by going abt my day like maybe i saw a couple doing something cute or a conversation me and my friend had like struck some creative idea
[03.] read books or other top-tier fics!!
— i found out how i wanted my writing style to be and got influenced (with enough practice). on the other note, your vocabulary might extend too.
[04.] ask help from your other writer friends if youre finding it difficult to write something! i swear it makes your writing twice as better too
[05.] listening to music that fit the scenario can be such a huge help if youre a daydreamer like me and tend to make up scenarios in your head. it can be a mood setter and before you know it wow top-notch writing
[06.] choose your words wisely. big words make your writing look more "professional" or something. but don’t go overboard as it might look forced or off
[07] and lastly be more poetic, you dont have to go all out but it brings more emotion to it in a sense!!

tumblr tips & things!
Tumblr media
after growing rlly fast, i just wanted to provide some maybe helpful tips + things you could do if you’re a smaller blog! i am in no means an expert, I am still learning but this is what i’ve learned, specifically abt the mcyt tumblr community
disclaimer you DO NOT have to follow these, these are what ive learned and my opinion, but i think most writers can agree on this
its a lot of info im sorry ajdba but feel free to reblog and add ur own info!
Tumblr media
1. tags!
theyre superrr important if you want exposure for your works + writing pieces, just make sure to tag accordingly
meaning: do not cross tag, or main tag, (ex do not tag just dream alone) keep ‘x reader’ content under the ‘x reader tags’
^people get uncomfortable with x readers and sometimes they slip through the filtered tags
my go-tos for tags are mcyt or cc name then the following prefixes- x reader, x y/n, x you, fanfic, fanfiction
if you have a fic for dream, DO NOT TAG george, it makes it confusing
also tags for ur random posts r super helpful because if someone doesnt want to see it, they can filter it out (my talking tag is basilly blabs)
adding a tag for the ppl you interact for! i like doing this cuz i can easily search a tag on my blog to see my prev interactions w/ them (ex. if i interact w/ userA then i tag userA’s username)
2. create some sort of brand
of course u can switch it up, but using ur own theme makes ur work recognizable to others
like mine is my banner- i use it on every of my works + important posts, so ppl can recognize me
banners can be found on the internet or twitter (but pls credit the artist w/ permission) i found mine on google
for super thin page dividers, i use ibis paint (mobile app) and made a super thin canvas (3405x57) and filled it w/ my theme color
3. plspls dont beat yourself up for rejecting requests or feeling uncomfortable
you are not forced to write requests, if they make you feel uncomfortable you can decline
also if you’re not happy with the work, you can spend the time to revise + edit, we will wait for work you are happy with!
+ if you are stuck with some details on writing smth, ask a mutual or others! more brains and more ideas!
4. same goes for writers block & health issues
we all get it sometimes, no one is pressuring you and if they are, its your blog, you decide. and your health matters more
5. the mcyt tumblr community is SUPER NICE
if u wanna be moots aka mutuals (follow each other) literally shoot them any message and they’ll respond so kindly
ive talked to so many incredible moots who I absolutely adore theyre so kind
also interacting w/ moots: they can reblog your work, creating exposure but do not expect reblogs, and same to you we are not expected to reblog
6. please check a cc’s boundaries before writing
@/smp-boundaries has a majority listed, and if not, ask!
7. if u have any questions, just ask!
lots of ppl will not even mind that much, like i said theyre super kind
8. navigation + masterlists!!
super important for everyone to see your rules, works, all put into one spot, it makes it 10x easier
9. backup ur works + asks
tumblr can be glitchy so its always helpful to back up works on google docs or smth similar
having ur whole fic deleted is not fun and demotivating
asks can be backed up by sending them to ur linked email- this has helped loads for me
10. dont worry too much abt likes + follows
all blogs start out small and as you go and keep persisting, ppl will start noticing + following, its all abt perseverance + trust the process
even when fics r rllllyy good, tumblr has its own bad days and u get low notes- dont let this discourage you
11. anonymous asks!
some ppl get nervous and request on anon! personally think theres more requests that way
12. small text or read mores!
internet is a great help w/ this and itll give you guides and step by step instructions
mobile also is a lot harder to make an aesthetic blog, so a laptop or pc or chromebook is super helpful
13. for max notes, post at ‘prime times’
i think the queue tells u when the prime time is to post for ur time zone, but also a google search is super helpful
or, guess and check! trial and error- i did this and found the best time to post for me
once you find it, you can schedule or queue your work so it posts for you!
14. if there’s sensitive topics pls add TW and CW
as writers yes we try to cover some topics that ppl request but we dont want to trigger others, so at the top include TW// (trigger warning) or CW// (content warning) and add a cut or read more
do not put CW or TW on content creators- no matter how bad they are, its rude and dehumanizing
15. Formatting is SUPER important!
if you do not separate your lines of dialogue or paragraphs, chances are people WILL skip over it. it makes it hard to read and sometimes it is’t worth people’s time
rule of thumb is make a new paragraph every time someone speaks and indicate who is talking or make is distinguishable!
if your fic is over 500 words, id add a cut as well! if you dont know how:
on mobile: type :readmore: in a new paragraph and hit enter w/out a space after the readmore
pc/laptop: new paragraph, three dots far right
Smut also def has its own set of rules but i am not a nsfw blog- main things i can say is please add cuts and check for cc’s boundaries
thats all i have for now,,, i might add in the future!
Tumblr media
not everyone’s experiences are the same but this is whats worked and happened for me and what i found to be useful, i hope this helps you as well, if it doesnt, thats fine too!

whats happening with tumblr? i know you've had issues before but idk if they're the same ones
Just not a great place for content creation. The like to reblog ratios are really rough and tbh it kind of makes me wonder why I bother posting certain stuff here. Instagram at least has a wider reach and I dont have the expectation of someone reblogging and ao3 allows comments to show up as a whole for the specific work. Plus I think if I figure out how to market my ao3 work on IG itll help too. Because tbh the kudos to hits ratio on ao3 also hurts a bit 😂 y que ni se diga on the comments.
Idk maybe I'm just in my head too much but it gets exhausting to be so hyper focused on making something and wanting to share only to for it to be liked and all the reblogs are me desperately trying to make a name for myself in a certain space. Like. I'm not paid for content, I dont receive any reward beside comments which I love, but you know writing is time consuming so its like.... I think about it and I'm like I sit here writing for hours, sometimes into 3am, only for people not to take 5 seconds to reblog and help it get seen. In which case I could just drop these things and focus on something that'll get me forward in my career like editing my manuscript or creating fiction pieces to submit with an MFA application.... but I also really want these things written out for my own sake and those who are reading and responding (particularly ao3, especially the last TaH chapter like that!!!! Got so many responses!!!!! It fueled me and pulled me out of writers block). Because in the end my motto is still to write what I want to read, for myself. I'm just. Reblogs and kudos would be nice 😂
God I sound entitled af
I always bring this up nwjdjdjd

when it happens after Pain destroyed the Village
warnings THE ANGSTIEST SHIT I’VE WRITTEN IN MY LIFE
a/n this is actually one of the first stories i’ve ever thought about. i wrote it months ago but just now i decided to give it a chance and post it and yeah, i gor a little carried away while writing it.
btw i’m witnessing the biggest writer’s block i’ve been through and that’s why i haven’t posted anything lately. hopefully it’ll be gone soon enough and i’ll be back to write as easily as i used to.
masterlist on my profile bio
Tumblr media
Naruto Uzumaki.
The first time you heard his name was in one of your missions. You were spying some old guy who was owing bad people money, and you had heard Naruto's story by accident. The guy who defeated the leader of the Akatsuki all by himself, even someone as the legendary Sannin Jiraiya couldn't. During the time, you have heard a lot of girls sigh in desire for the boy, as also heard a lot of man being inspired by him - to become even stronger than people said he was.
So, when you finished your mission, it was no surprise for you someone decided to hire you to dig some dirty on Naruto. You have never accepted a mission on Konoha before, keeping your boundaries up since you know your uncle and his family still lived there, and you would never do anything to hurt your blood. But the offer was too good to decline.
Last time you have seen your uncle and cousin, you were six. Your mother was a foreign and her pregnancy had so many complications. The day you were born, she made a promise, she would take you back to her country, to become a ninja there. Your father, the brother of the Yamanaka clan leader, was madly in love with her and never said a single no at her direction. When the time came, not only he didn't fight against your mother taking you away, as he decided to leave the village himself. Uncle Inoichi helped him, knowing it was the only thing he could do to help his brother achieve happiness, but in the process, your father ended up being labeled as a rogue ninja.
The Bamboo Village was a nice place to live, and your parents were always happy there, even though you missed your old life and family deeply. You had a cousin, who also had the same age as you, so you two had grown up together and she was basically a sister to you. Leaving her behind was the hardest thing you wish you had encountered in your life, but it wasn't.
Your mother died a year after you moved country. Her disease was unknown, the doctors said they couldn't do anything but to ease her pain until the time comes. That was what you and your father did. Took care of her, stood by her side, until she was gone. To these days, you still missed her deeply. As honoring your mother wishes, you and your father didn't go back to Konoha after her death. Instead, your father taught you everything he could about the family jutsus, and it made your heart melt every time he told you how good you could become. Maybe better than him. Or even Uncle Inoichi.
He passed away five years after that, on a battle against the Land of Lightning. Even though you wanted to stay in Bamboo Village, you knew you wouldn't survive there. So that when you started to use your jutsus in espionage. You went city from city, village from village, country from country, learning from the best. The requests came right after. In your line of work, you kept your name hidden. You didn't want to drag the Yamanaka name to the mud, or even give something to your enemy to use as an advantage against you, wishing you could always keep your reminiscent family safe.
So, when your feet took you back to Konoha's, you couldn't help but feel sick. Regret and worry filled your whole body, since you counted with your family accepting you with open arms, but you knew it was a shot in the dark. Since Pain's attack which destroyed the entire village, you didn't exactly know where the Yamanaka clan was staying, so you followed your plan and walked around the village, asking if someone knew where Ino Yamanaka was.
It didn't take long, actually. Apparently, she was a recognized and respected kunoichi and you couldn't stop feeling a little jealous. What would they think about me if I have stayed? The thought flooding your head as you walked towards the place a girl told you Ino would be.
She was sitting on a pile of wood, with seven ninjas surrounding her. They were laughing and talking about how stupid what someone named Rock Lee have done to an old lady. When your eyes laid on her, you felt your heart skipping a beat. She looked exactly like before, the only thing which was different was her hair, it was so long.
A guy with the Byakugan was the first to notice you, which didn't actually surprise you at all. You have heard about what those eyes could do. Looking around them, you could see there was also a girl who could use it. This group look like they would be a pain in your ass if you didn't pay close attention at them.
"Can we help you?" A pink haired girl asked, and your eyes widened for a second. That was Sakura? No way.
As your eyes passed through their faces, you started to recognize some of them. Shikamaru was standing next to Ino, with Choji by his side. You also recognized Kiba, who you remember having an innocent crush on, because of Akamaru, which was huge now. Your heart was literally shrinking inside you by that view, already pondering the pros and cons about ignoring the mission you had been given. But you could not give up now, there was too much involved.
"Staring is creepy, have your family never taught you that?" Ino questioned, her eyes narrowed at you.
You shook your head, smiling. "You would know, Ino-nee-chan, still a bitch, I see?"
Ino's eyes popped up as she gasped, taking her hands to cover her mouth. Everyone else were just shocked by the way you talked to her, but you were sure she recognized you. Once she got up from the wood she was sitting and ran in your direction, giving you one hell of a tight hug, you felt your body relax for the first time in a long time.
"Nee-chan!" she said between the tears, it took every strength in your body not to do the same. It was still a mission, the hardest one you have been to, but still a mission. "I thought I would never see you again!"
"Wait, is that y/n-chan?" Kiba asked out loud. "Holy shit, you got hot!"
Ino and you laughed as Sakura punched the poor guy, sending him meters away from where he originally was standing. So, Sakura had a monstrous strength, just like you heard Tsunade-sama having.
"Daddy will be so happy when he sees you! Where is y/f/n-ojisan? I've missed him so bad too!" she exclaimed.
You swallowed hard, knowing too well there was no way to dodge this moment. "Mhm," you shifted your weight from one leg to the other. "My dad died when I was 12, during a battle."
"Oh," she said, the air getting heavier around you. "And why you haven't contacted us after that, y/n-nee-chan?" she asked, her tone clearly hurt. "We could have helped you."
Another question you predicted. "I tried to honor my mother's wish for as long as I could but..." you trailed off, breathing deeply to keep going. "I just wanted to be with my family again."
She hugged you again, crying her eyes out. Shikamaru came closer and pushed the girl from you.
"Ino, what a drag, let her breathe for a second," Shikamaru eyed you, from head to toe. You remember him being very - very­ - smart when you were kids. His eyes stopped on your lips, and you noticed his cheek blushing. Pressing your lips together to repress a smile, you couldn't push away the memory of you accidentally kissing him while playing one of Ino's idiot games. It was your first kiss, and probably his too. "Eh, welcome back, y/n-chan," he scratched the back of his head.
"Thank you, Shikamaru-kun," you grinned back at him as you were wrapped in someone's arms.
"Y/N-CHAN, YOU WERE DEEPLY MISSED!" Choji screamed as he hugged you, a little stronger than you wish, the air escaping from your lungs.
"Choji, I can't breat-" you said, but it seemed more like a whisper. Happily, he understood and let you go, being embarrassed.
"Sorry, I jus-" you caught him off guard wrapping your arms around his neck, bringing him closer. He smiled, hugging you back, but this time, not as strong as before.
"Ino-Shika-Cho," you said, looking at the three of them once Choji put you on the ground. "I certainly missed this formation."
"So, who is this girl?" A blond guy said from behind them. His blue eyes were locked on yours and you could see a little bit of distrust there.
"This is y/n, Naruto, Ino's cousin," Sakura answered, walking towards you to embrace you. "Getting on Ino's nerves were never the same after you left."
"Well, we did know how to do it, right?" you smiled at her, but your eyes were still locked on Naruto's. There was your target, right in front of you. You kept talking and catching up with your old friends, as well getting to know the others you didn't. The boy with the Byakugan was called Neji, and the girl Hinata. Apparently, they were cousins. There was also Rock Lee, Tenten and Shino - who you slightly remember running away from when you were little because of his insects.
Ino grabbed your hand, saying you two had to go. The first part of your plan was going good so far, but you couldn't stop feeling like shit the whole time. You knew you had to shake those feelings away, or you wouldn't be able to see your uncle Inoichi. He surely wouldn't trust you at first, and would search for something suspicious as talking. Your father always said he was by far the best Yamanaka shinobi that ever existed.
Well, you were about to prove him wrong.
As expected, Inoichi didn't recognized you. Once Ino said who you were, his eyes almost popped out from his face in shook, it was a good thing for you, strong emotions were used to prejudice the jutsu. He asked you a million questions, and you were honest in all of them, because you were sure he would enter in your head soon or later. Even that he seemed happy to see you, you could see he was holding himself back to ask you to see inside your head, and not because of you, but because of Ino.
So, once she was asleep on her bedroom, you went to find him on the kitchen. You knew he would be expecting the right moment to tell you, and what moment was better than late at night?
"Go ahead," you told him.
He pressed his palm gently against your head as he began to scour your mind. You made sure the first images he was going to see was you playing with Ino as children, you leaving the village with your parents. He also saw your mom dying, how miserable your dad was but his strength and love for you keeping him on track, your trainings - but not all of them -, the days he mentioned and talked about Inoichi and Ino, the times he wanted to give up everything to come back to them but he couldn't because he wanted to honor your mother memories.
Inoichi's jutsu on your head were getting more and more weak, you could literally feel it. Even though he was a master to find others people secret, he could still be manipulated to see what you wanted him to see. You knew all it would take was one more scene and he would be done with it.
So, you showed the day your dad put on his fighting clothes, saying he would be back soon enough and went to the war. You showed him the endless hours expecting for him to come home, as you stood there alone in the dark. The times you heard a noise outside and thought it was him but it was wind or some rotten bamboo which fell on the roof, and then, the time you decided to look for him, going straight to the war field. You showed him as you found your father's body in the middle of the others endless bodies there. How you cried over him, tried what you knew about medic ninjutsu - which it was so little. You literally showed Inoichi how your heart broke that day and he couldn't take it, breaking the jutsu so he could wipe away his own tears.
You remembered something you father told you long time ago.
"Inoichi is the best in searching for information in someone's head," he said during one practice. "But growing up with a brother like that, I had to find out some tricks so I could keep some things as secret from him. I didn't want my brother to know everything about my life."
And just like that you knew, Inoichi could be the best at searching for information, but your father was the best at hiding it. Your life goal was to become even better than your father, and you completely manage to do it.
After that day, Inoichi never tried to get inside your head again, you knew it was too painful for him. So, he took you under his wing, taking care of you just like he used to when you were little. Every day was getting harder to separate your feelings from the mission, as you trained with them, eat with them and everything else. Inoichi even wanted you to become a Konoha's ninja, and he was going to ask the Hokage - who apparently was in a coma - if it was possible.
"So, I heard you are making a huge success in the Village," Ino said one day, after practice. "Naruto and Kiba are fighting to see who is going to ask you out. Today I even caught Shikamaru staring at you a little too long, which by the way, it's kind of shocking. I have seen him showing interest in one girl in my life, and if I am correct, which I am, she really likes him. So, you should stay away from him a bit."
You laughed at her. "Naruto, huh?" you asked, happy because your mission would be easier than you thought. Going out with him would help you to extract information from him without being suspicious.
"So, he is a favorite. I will make sure to tell him that," Ino said, confusing your happiness like you actually wanted to go out with Naruto because you liked him. "He is so popular with girls now, it's kind of weird. Actually, the fact he wants to go out with you is weird too, because he used to like Sakura a lot."
You were grateful you had someone as chatty as Ino as your cousin. She herself had given you tons of infos, in Naruto and the rest of their friends. She was also making everything easier for you, but every time you thought about leaving after finishing your mission, your heart broke into two. She would never forgive you after finding out what you were about to do.
The hang out with Ino's friends were a good part of your day, because it was the only part of the day you let yourself to be the teenager you were supposed to be.
This time, you all went to eat barbecue. During the whole night, you guys laughed and told stories about life, trainings and missions. Stories were by far your favorite things to hear, and those guys have tons of them. But your favorite one by far was when Naruto defeated Nagato - the real Pain. Even you, after a short time, could see how big Naruto's heart was.
At the end of the evening, everyone said goodbye. When Ino said she had to do something with Choji, things got a little suspicious.
"But Naruto will walk you until my house, right, Naruto?" Ino asked him, directly.
"But your house is really far..." He trailed off as Sakura elbowed him, realization hitting him right away.
"I suppose I could go wit-" Kiba got interrupted by a screaming Naruto.
"No way, dattebayo! I will do it, I need to lose all the calories I got from this barbecue anyway. Y/n-chan, do you mind?" His smile was genuine, and you couldn't help but to smile back.
"Not at all, Naruto. I would really appreciate it," you answered in return, making his smile even bigger - if it was possible.
It didn’t take much until you realized Naruto was someone easy to be around. He always tried to mask his insecurities with cocky jokes and wide smiles, and you found to be strangely found of him. Walking side by side, it was almost shocking that the person next to you managed to defeat someone so strong as Pain. You crossed paths with Akatsuki once in a while on your missions, and you knew better than anyone how lucky you were for being alive.
“Y/n-chan, would you like to hang out sometime?” Naruto blurted out, his cheeks tinted with a light pink.
“Isn’t that what we are doing?” You smiled at him, poking his side with your elbow.
“Yes, but I mean, like a date.” He scratched the back of his neck, his eyes focused on the road ahead.
“I would love to.” You shrugged, but inside, your heart was flipping around. The worst part was when you realized it wasn’t because your mission was finally working, but because you wanted to go out with him.
“How about tomorrow?” He questioned, as soon as you arrived at the Yamanaka’s house.
“That would be perfect. Until then.”
Things followed. The first date, the connection between you two was undeniable, but you still tried to keep your mind on the prize. You analyzed every single word that came out of his mouth, but your heart couldn’t stop but beat faster every time he would smile or say something sweet about you.
You accepted his invitation for a second date, a third, a fourth, until Naruto became a constant on your routine.  There were days where you would see him more than you would see your own cousin Ino, and you lived with the girl.
For many times, you wanted badly to let it go of this mission and just live. A normal relationship with someone you were crazy about, a nice family who loved you and supported you, loyal friends, out of the chart teachers… It was everything so tempting, but something buried inside your head didn’t make you give up completely for it, so every night, you wrote down on a parchment the new discovers from Naruto and everyone around him.
The last drop of resistance on your body melted the day he asked you to be his girlfriend.
You choked on the ramen you were about to swallow, staring in disbelief at the blond guy sitting across the table, his cheeks tinted by a nice shade of red.
“I know I surprised you, but it would be nice if you said something.” Naruto pointed out, scratching the back of his head, nervously.
A movie played on your head, those ones that you would figure that they passed when you were about to die. Everything you could remember since you left Konoha marked you in a way you would never recover, that for sure, but did that mean you could never find happiness? For the first time, you felt what it was like. For the first time, sorrow and hurt wasn’t the feelings that you went to the whole day through, fighting them to the back of your mind.
Naruto was there, offering everything you have ever wanted, and you had the guts to say yes.
So, you did.
His face lightened as someone had just told him he had won a whole year of free ramen. His happiness was by far the favorite thing you had witnessed in your life, along with the kiss that followed after it. For once, you forgot about your former jobs, your former past and mostly, your former pain.
During months, everything was just fine. Both of you had to deal with some difficulties on your way, but nothing that would damage your relationship. You ended up finding out about Sasuke and how badly Naruto wanted to recover him back, how deep Naruto and Sakura relationship was, strong as a brotherhood. Ino also loved to have you around, and even though you didn’t have a team, InoShikaCho didn’t hesitate to take you under their wings.
One day before the big war, you and Naruto were packing the stuff you would need to take to reunite the Alliance force. He was going through your draws, as you were going through your closet, as you heard his breathing getting faster.
“y/n, what is this?”
You turned to face your boyfriend with your old parchments on his hands. By the looks of it, he had read a couple of them, and the confusion on his face broke your heart as you didn’t know what to say.
Every single day you told yourself you should get rid of those things, but you never remembered. The guy who hired you never went after you because he didn’t even pay you, at first, so he didn’t lose anything by you not doing it.
“Naruto, I can explain.”
“So do it, because from where I’m standing, it seems like a parchment with a lot of private information of mine.” Naruto threw the paper and it ended up in front of your feet.
“You have to understand, Naruto. There were a few things I have done to survive that I am not proud of.” You took a step forward, but Naruto raised his hand as signing for you to stop.
“What you were going to do with those, y/n?” He demanded, his eyes turning red for a second before coming back to the usual blue.
“I was hired to spy on you, that was the motive that made me come back to Konoha.” The tears started to pool on the corner of your eyes. “But that was before. I didn’t give them anything about you. I couldn’t, I love you too much to do it.”
“You came to Konoha decided to betray your own family?” His tone mirrored the despise on his eyes.
“I would never do anything to hurt them.”
“But me, it was okay?”
“You don’t understand, Naruto. Spying was everything I knew before I came to Konoha. I was hurt and alone, needing money to survive. I wanted to honor my mother wishes but I couldn’t.”
“Do you really think I don’t understand the concept of being alone?” He hissed, turning his gaze away from your face. “I’ve been alone for the most part of my life, y/n. I grew up with people running away from me out of fear and you came here to tell me that I simply don’t understand? What is there to understand now?”
“That I’m crazy about you. You changed me, made me see things in a point of view I didn’t even know it was possible. You were gentle, kind and I believe you can change the whole world just by being in it, Naruto. I am sorry that I didn’t come here with the best intentions, but I am a totally different person from before.”
“I think we should take a break.”
“A break? We are going to a war tomorrow!”
“It’ll be better for both of us if we are focused on the battle ahead. We’ll talk when we are back.”
“Except that you can’t be sure that both of us are coming back alive.”
That hit him, hard. You noticed how shallow his breath became, how he had to swallow hard before opening his mouth again. “Come back alive.” He said, for last, before leaving you on the empty room.
The next few days, you had barely seen Naruto. He didn’t tell anyone about your former plans, which just made harder to explain people why you two weren’t together anymore. You ended up being designed to the same battalion as your cousin and her team. Even though you knew it was a war to protect Naruto and the bijuu inside him, every second of your day was filled with worried by him, and the constant lack of news was even worse than the nonstop fighting.
After finishing the coast, your whole group were designed to assist Naruto on his battle. Of course, you were the one running as faster as you can, so you could reach him faster. No words were needed in this case, all you want were to lay your eyes on him to make sure he was alive.
The moment your heart skipped a beat was exactly when he entered on your sight. The blond guy that you loved with all your body cells was standing there, he seemed hurt and tired, but not even as near to give up. That being the trait which you loved the most on him.
The whole battle was a long one and the adrenaline never stopped running through people’s vein, yours mostly. When Naruto decided to divide his nine tail chakra with everyone, was the first time he realized you were there. He hesitated before touching your hand, and you pressed your lips into a thin line when he jerked back to keep a whine that threatened to escape from your lips inside.
Before moving to the next person, he shot you a sad grin. “I’m glad you alive.”
As fast as he came, he disappeared on the crowd. You didn’t even have the chance to check if it was a shadow clone, just his dust from the run near you now. Despite it, it seemed you couldn’t look away. Following Naruto and paying attention to his surroundings was basically your task. So, the moment you saw one of the ten tailed monsters going straight at his direction, you didn’t think twice before jumping in between them, avoiding Naruto to get a hit on his back.
But you got the hit right below your chest, taking away all the air from your lungs.
Naruto just was fast enough to end the creature as you fell against the cold ground. You fell the warm blood spreading through all your clothes, your conscience slightly fading away.
As soon as Naruto reached you, the tears were already pooling in the corner of his eyes. “No, no, no. Stay with me, y/n. I told you not to die, damn it.” He looked around, looking for someone. “SAKURA, HELP ME.” He screamed, his voice cracking at the end.
“Naruto, it’s okay. You’re okay. That’s what matters.” You managed to say and honestly, you wanted to speak even more, but the pain running through your body was unbearable, every breath feeling like someone was stabbing you.
“SAKURA! WHERE IS SHE?” Naruto yelled at someone near, you couldn’t see who it was. “Do you know anything about medic ninjutsu? Can you help me?”
Someone bent near to your body, sobbing. “You stupid! What did you do?”
A weak smile crossed your lips, in relief. “You should be used by now, cousin. I’ll always protect those I love.”
A green chakra was leaking from her hands, pressed on your wound. But it wouldn’t work. You could feel your organs shutting down, one at time.
“Ino, talk to me.” Naruto hissed.
“I can’t, the damage, I can’t.” The blond said, crying.
“It’s okay. Both pay attention at me. Ino, thank you for everything.” You managed to say, but she cut you off.
“I just lost my father, please. Please. I can’t lose you too!” She leaned in over your body, and you had to cough a little. A warm feeling appeared running down your cheek and you weren’t sure if it was blood or tears.
“Ino.” You said a little bit stronger. “Take care of yourself, and the boys too. They need you. I love you, sister.”
“I love you!” She yelled, before Shikamaru pulled her back from your body.
A small part of you still wanted to laugh, they were still on a battlefield on a fucking war and here they were, acting like they had all the time in the world.
“Naruto.” You used the last strength on your body to look at him. “Hi baby.”
He was crying silently; his hand was holding yours so strongly and you didn’t even feel it. “Please.”
“I am sorry for not staying alive. Don’t you ever forget how much I loved you. Thank you for teaching me what love really meant.” You swallowed hard. “Take care of Ino for me, and please, stay alive.”
“I will. I love you too. I love you so much.” He hugged your body and you noticed the pain was smaller, as almost not existent. You smiled to the sky and closed your eyes, just waiting. Far from there, the sound of a someone crying harder reached your ears, and then, everything went black.

choose wisely
They only remember falling asleep after a stressful day of dealing with the demon that had crept inside their house; which would lead to reasoning that they should wake up on their couch. Hence the deep, deep confusion when they wake up standing alone in the middle of the street, staring down a dark alleyway groggily.
‘Excuse me...?’ They murmur, hastily remembering not to ask too many questions as there would undoubtedly be an answer they they wouldn’t like.
Thankfully, this doesn’t garner any attention, and they walk forwards again, towards the alley. Their curiosity has been piqued amongst this confusion, wariness long cast to the side after they determined nothing had accompanied them.
They enter the alley, missing the figure watching them with a wide grin.
For the moment, nothing stirs, nothing is out of the ordinary as they delve deeper into the twisting roadway. In the next breath, something makes itself known behind them, as whispers twist around the writer.
Did you miss me, darling? It’s been so long since we’ve caught up. Did you catch my message?
They freeze, and take a sharp look around, jaw tightening. When they go to summon their ink though, something blocks them and for the first time, a chord of something like fear is struck. A figure twists out of the shadows in front of them, grinning widely.
‘Come on now, darlin’. We’re having some fun, don’t try to ruin it so soon.’ They stare icily at her, gritting out ‘You are not welcome here, and you are aware of this. Begone.’
‘Thot.’ She laughs a bit at her own joke, before she shifts and suddenly she’s besides Scribe, leaning on them cheerfully.
‘But why do you want me gone so soon? Not Ailen, nor Will gets this treatment. Just me?’
They don’t answer, scrutinizing her, but she doesn’t give them a chance to speak anyways,
‘Oh, no. I know exactly why you don’t want me here. It’s because you don’t like someone reaching inside your head and exposing everything that makes you tick; it is best to be the one doing that after all, isn’t it? Say, I wonder if you’ve changed any, yeah?’
She ghosts icy hands down their arms, loosely encircling their wrists in her grip as she whispers ‘Let’s take a look, shall we?’
Scribe jerks away violently, but they find something holds them in place as Ace hums ‘No, wait. This is new.’ Suddenly she’s gone but Scribe doesn’t have the time to be grateful for that as they stare at the bloody strings cutting into their arms, wrapped around them and choking them.
Spots dance in their vision and grow, but just before the darkness can overcome their vision, the strings fade away while Ace laughs from behind them. ‘How ironic. You’re afraid of being caught up as an unwilling puppet in the story that you’ve been watching. Or do you want it? It’s been so long since you’ve been part of anything that you’re willing to take even this.’
They steady themselves before they turn, a sickly sweet expression crossing their face despite the shaken emotions behind the vengeful mask.
‘Pathetic. A demon borne of fear and you only pick the low-hanging fruit. Why? Are you afraid that it’ll expose the same thing in both of us? Let me tell you a thing, dear; I know why you’re here. I know this is some misguided attempt to get back your precious little partner’s sister, some form of vengeance. Trying your best to masquerade as one of them when you know you’ll never be accepted back in. Stop these fruitless attempts, darling. Accept the fact that we exist in between the two sides and enjoy it.’
Silence.
Then a soft snicker, followed by another.
‘That was bad, even by your standards. I- I think this conversation is over, I’m going to give you some time to consider your stance and maybe the fact that it’s time to pick a side, coward.’
They wake up on their couch, hands flying to their throat at the memory of the nightmare that followed. No strings meet their fingertips and they sag, considering, thinking.
It is time to choose a side, isn’t͝ ̕i͜t́?

hey do u have any ways u force urself to write. i need to write this fucking faulkner paper and like ik i can and itll be good once i do it i just need to Do It its already like 900 years late. im loving yahfhskjd law so so so so much btw i rlly love ur characterization for den and the whole fic is just so endearing and enjoyable like theres heaviness to it but its not like overbearingly angsty and its just rlly fun to read
i have some advice but it might not be universal or healthy (lol) and it differs heavily based on what i’m writing
fic writing is for fun, and that’s why i try to remember when i’m doing it. sometimes it becomes obsessive (because i have ocd, and because i love validation, and that’s quite the line to tread lmao) but ultimately i do it because i love it/i have shit to say/stories drum in my fingers until i get them out, even if it takes time. i’m glad you love it!!!! if people didn’t i’d get demoralized way more often! with fic writing, usually i can’t force myself to do anything until i know the basics of what i want down - right now i’m stuck on a scene b/t charlie and mac because i know what i want them to get out of it, but i have no idea what the outside context of the overall conversation will be. usually in that case, i just have to wait it out.
inspo will come to me when it comes, maybe from binge watching the show, maybe from watching smth else, maybe from a convo i have irl or a dream or what have you. in the meantime i write as much around it as i possibly can. i’ve currently written every single scene for the next chapter that either came easily or at least didn’t come extremely difficultly, and once i have part of a scene down i usually let the characters’ voices follow me through the rest of it…sometimes you just have to let them run free. writing fic for me is often a solid push and pull of me nudging the characters down the path i want them to take, but mostly i just sit there and imagine them talking, and see what they say. i have to parse apart exactly how i think they’d say it, but i can get a fair amount of their tone and message just from listening to them have the convo in my head. not to be extremely embarrassing on main but when i was obsessed with twilight, stephenie meyer basically said this in her faq and it really resonated with me lmao. this applies to original fiction btw too. that’s why its often easy to finish a scene once i’ve begun it, if i can get a piece of the convo than usually i can build outward - give me a snippet of a convo and i can begin to see their location, what started this convo, and their motivations. i’ll have to trim it down to fit their tone/how often they lie/how difficult they find it to express themselves later, but after i get it all out, it’s easier to cut away the ooc parts until you’re left with glances to convey what used to be a paragraph and what have you
can’t write a sex scene? have a drink or two and write it all spelling errors and all, it’s usually way dirtier than i intended too but you can clean ALL that up and make it in-character in editing
academic writing was never nearly as difficult for me, especially once i got to college. pretty much everyone i know used adderall to write essays, and i sat down a few times expecting to do that myself, but i ultimately never ended up needing it. in high school i was smart enough to more or less make shit up to get through it (i always say the only thing i learned in high school is how to bullshit effectively) but in college you get to pick your research topics, or they’ll hand you a book and tell you to pick whatever part of it you want to write about, so i usually latched on to one snippet of interest and expanded from there (many of my essays were about how the characters were secretly gay or more or less feminist than they should be, as you can imagine)
i was never much for formal outlines, and i DON’T subscribe to the 5 paragraph essay format, but i usually made a basic outline in my notebook so i’d remember to hit all the points i wanted to make/be able to steer myself back on course when i started rambling abt something. usually i have an overarching point, and like 2 supporting arguments that i go into HEAVY detail about and probably have some supporting arguments about them within themselves. make an outline that lists your thesis and your 2 or 3 main points. if you CAN easily, write down some supporting arguments for those main points, but don’t get caught up on it.
how do i start? just sit down and fuckin start. deadass. tell yourself that if you finish before 8pm you can smoke a bowl or something, then smoke a bowl after you’re done regardless of the time. then sit down and just start typing, WHEREVER your mind wants to begin. let it, it’s way easier to follow your motivation than try to corral it, you’ll just end up giving yourself writer’s block
intros are easy. don’t worry too much about starting them; you can come up with a catchy first sentence way later (same with a catchy ending sentence; i still CANNOT write last lines for the life of me). for your intro literally just say: These 2 or 3 things are connected, actually, and I think they connect in a specific way to prove [thesis]. you can bulk out the intro later, but MOVE ON. that’s not the important part of the essay, at all. if your thesis can’t be turned into a question THAT YOU THEN ANSWER, then it needs to be bulked out. you should be able to make it a question, for example: Why is Emily Dickinson a lesbian? becomes “Dickinson’s lesbianism is the driving force behind her decisions to do x, y, and z” in which x y & z are the main points of your essay.
don’t worry too much about sources or quotes. i can’t tell you how many times i just made arguments in essays and then put in brackets [find a throwaway quote about x to support this later], then highlighted the text so it’d stand out and i’d remember to get back to it later. then MOVE ON.
don’t get caught up in anything, not grammar, not specifics, not finding the perfect segue between paragraphs. just try to get down everything you have to say FIRST, or you’ll bog yourself down and lose steam. sit there until you’re done making your points, then take a break
conclusions are easy. scroll back up to your intro. what does it say? put that back down, exactly, and bulk it out a little by referencing some points in the main paragraphs of your essay. if your intro just said “x y and z is true” then your conclusion should say “her woodcarving shows x is true, the fact that the moon was full that day is why y is true. these two things make z true”
go back and find sources/quotes to plug into all the times you wrote [find a throwaday quote]
TAKE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE OFF. if you try to edit and expand immediately, you WILL fail to catch things. if you’re a little unfamiliar with your own writing, you’ll be able to catch things like spelling errors, things that make so little sense you have no idea what you were trying to say, times you forgot to plug in a quote, or when a transition sounds a little like a record scratching instead of playing smoothly
if you’re really pressed for time: just fucking send it in without doing a second reread, because FUCK IT. getting it done is more important than perfectionism; fixing those last straggling spelling errors gets you +2 points whereas being a day late loses a letter grade
most importantly: WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT. if you’re only getting specific prompts, try to twist it as best you can until you give a fuck about it, it’s WAY easier to write about shit that matters to you. i LOVED twisting prompts until suddenly this boring ass white boy book is secretly about this minor female character that appeared on 2 pages, and after awhile i got really fucking good at it.
just sit down and start writing. you’ve got to start somewhere, even if you end up erasing and rewriting the starting point later. at least you’ve got the ball rolling.

Ep. 2: “iF yOu SeE a VoLcAnO wHy NoT jUmP oVeR iT” - Marie
Tumblr media
Marie
Fuckin volcano
Felix
I feel secure because Charlie is going to be the one to go. I just know it. If we go to tribal that is. They have barely spoken and I don't know them too well. Might be the same for everyone else here
Marie
Still salty bout the goddamn volcano
Marie
iF yOu SeE a VoLcAnO wHy NoT jUmP oVeR iT
Flint
I am really enjoying the banter with Jay and our tribe. Having a great time with this immunity challenge and chatting with Joey and Felix. Wish the other tribe mates were as active.
Brianna
Ya know coming into this competition i didn’t expect it to be me and Bradley as the last two people representing our team. I guess he’s gonna be more active now since his busy week is over so that’s swell but like. God I really wanna sleep.
Felix
To sum up, I feel like I am getting a deeper bond with Flint and Joey. They seem to be willing to talk with me most often. So, even if we do go to tribal I am safe for the most part. I just feel like I am liked in the tribe. Also, I am the one putting in the most work for the tribe, so I have that going for me. I just feel safe because of the work I have put in, but I don't want to give up just yet. If I can avoid tribal, then I will. According to both Joey and Flint, Suzy and Charlie have been very inactive. Therefore, it will be them on the chopping block come time for tribal. Joey thinks Charlie is more inactive whereas Flint thinks Suzy is more inactive. It'll just come down to what Cassie and I feel in the end. Doesn't hurt us either way since I think they are the weakest links on our tribe, especially Charlie. I don't think she put in enough effort last immunity challenge. Plus, she was totally inactive for this challenge that she auto-lost. Cassie missed this challenge too, but she at least did really well last challenge. If we go to tribal, I think I would vote for Charlie in the end since they are the person I feel least closest to. If only Bradley dropped, I could win this challenge for my tribe and cement my place as a valuable asset.
Lysandre
I am SO SORRY GIGI! I thought you were a returnee so I decided to snap! The comment looked pretty mean compared to the others,  which it was. The tribe, Marie and Kathleen, was wondering who said the mean comment and they believed it was David. I said yeah I think it was him as well. I love accidently painting a target in him and being a rat child.
Lysandre
Ok so I completely missed the challenge! I had no idea it was going to start early and I was at ine of ny sibling's events. I'm rooting for my team and hoping that my absence doesn't paint a target on my back. Also! I am loving being Lysandre! The writer in me is having a field day because I get to create a character and their background, quirks, and personality BUT THEN I GET TO BECOME THEM.
Flint
I couldn't outlast that second Immunity challenge. It was fun but my body couldn't carry on. I hope that Felix can pull through for Tuai! If we have to go to tribal I think it will be an easy vote, for me at least. I think that Cassie or Suzy should go. Cassie hasn't shown much initiative as our leader and Suzy isn't very social.
Bradley
This challenge is taking forever. Im the last one for my tribe. I dont want to lose cuz itll suck and havent been on that much so my soical game isnt too strong either. I just want to beat one tribe.
Cassie
I'm so proud of Felix for sticking it out for the tribe so that we don't have to go to tribal tonight. Plus we still have the numbers advantage, so that is always a positive.
Flint
So relieved we won immunity again! The Tuai tribe is unstoppable so look out! I'm a little jealous that Felix won an advantage but he deserves it and maybe with some buttering up he'll share the information with me.
Felix
Can you believe I have done THAT! I single-handedly won this challenge for my tribe, and got an advantage on top of that. I know why Raul and Kathleen gave it to me, though. If I won and people knew I had an advantage, I would have a big target on my back. It does seem that Kathleen and Raul are working together, so I have to watch out for them. Whether I tell this to anyone on my tribe is a different matter entirely. Though they all know I have an advantage. I think I won't be seen as a threat until later on in the game. I'm still an asset to them though this early on so I hope I would stay if we had to go to tribal in this stage of the game.
Raul
I really did not think I was gonna be able to compete but I got back into it was in the last 2 of our tribe. When it came down to 4 of us 2vs1vs1 we knew we needed to just knock out Bradley and he did that to himself. The best thing to come out was that Kathleen and I grew together plus I'm pretty sure I know the identity of Kathleen which helps cause I love this person. Also there was a individual advantage to be won and Felix had 0 while Kathleen and I had 2. Kathleen and I had decided that Felix could have it but try to work a little magic and make a relationship with him and a deal to work together if the opportunity arose. My smart self realized that that if we just gave it to him it would be announced we made a deal, so I said we continue the comp and just throw it that way it wouldn't be revealed what we were actually doing. This way it keeps this threesome possibility a secret. Whether it remains one or not we shall see. At the very least we aren't going to tribal. Hoorah, 1 point Raul the Snake 0 points survivor gods . . .
Kathleen
"Ohhhh bitch this ones gonna be different from my last one.
David? Trash. Will 100% be the one to go next tribal we go to if I have anything to say about it.
Marie? The sweetest and most opinionated 13 year old I’ve ever met. We love a politically aware teen.
Lysandre? *insert that lady Gaga gif of her going ‘gorgeous, amazing incredible’ ect*
And Raul? I’m sooo glad we were the last two left in the immunity challenge. We bonded AND made an underhanded deal with someone from another tribe. Can you say icons?
Hotel? Trivago."
Bradley
I could still potentially be going home. Since someone brought up the fact that they all talked how they havent talked to me a lot. They do appreciate me doing really well in the challenge and i have Apollo and Brianna wanting to work with me each separately. So hopefully i can avoid being voted off this round and just work on more social connections with them all.
Suzy
love felix but lowkey what if they are doing this for everyone
Boris
"Hello im STRESSED. I went from feeling like im in a comfortable position on the tribe, to the absolute bottom just in one day. Being forced to sit out of the challenge really fucked me up. I feel like the tribe is low-key bitter at me.
And on top of that. We have less than 12 hours to vote someone out. And NO ONE is really talking game to me. Im so nervous. The only person I connect with on a game level is Apollo. I have no idea where the tribe is leaning, but I have a sinking feeling its me.
God I hope im wrong and just insanely paranoid. "
Boris
"IN HAPPIER NEWS. I finally got something GOOD in the idol hunt? And it could be game changing!!!
I found 1 half of a super idol. It can't help me tonight but its leverage, and a super idol is the most powerful thing in the game, it could literally save my life in the future of the game. All i have to do is survive tonight, if I have to use the super idol piece as leverage, I will. "
Felix
I think the advantage is less about doing someone on the other tribe a favor. I'm telling everyone about it because, if I do that, it garners trust because they know I'll be open with them about any advantages I have. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to tell the truth to gain trust. The extra vote could also get me an ally on the other side. Let's see if this plays out like I hope it does.
David
Everyone is nice which makes it hard to decide who to vote off. Performance in the next challenge will base my vote and probably others.
Felix
I think my plan is working. Cassie offered me an alliance with her and Flint. I think those two are really cool so I think working with them is in my best interest. Also, I have connections with Mea through Raul and Kathleen. Hopefully, since I'm giving an extra vote to Bradley, I can gain a connection with him despite not having met him. I hope this plays out well! My social game seems to be climbing!
Felix
I have made my first alliance in this game! It's the Tuai Quad Alliance, LLC featuring Cassie, Joey, Flint, and I. It's basically everyone I wanted to work with since the beginning of the game! I think I have found myself in a good position on this tribe. To be honest, I'd like to see Charlie go first, but we'll see how this all pans out. I'm glad I finally have a security blanket though. Hurray for a good social game!
Cassie
I love being a part of the Tuai tribe and was happy to become the leader. Despite liking all of my tribemates, I've become part of an alliance. We're calling it the TQA, LLC. Maybe someday that can be trademarked, hehe. But the Tuai Quad power is strong with Felix, Flint, Joey, and myself.
Brianna
Well. We lost the challenge. I made a pact with Bradley that we should stick together since we were the last two people left in the challenge. I also talked to Apollo and Boris. I seem to be close to them. Boris mentioned making an alliance with me, him, Bradley, and Apollo and I would be totes down for that. So. Guess this will be pretty simple hopefully
Zest
I just cast my first vote and it was wild. I didn't know what to expect going in to tribal. I hope no one blindsides me because I am really getting invested in this game. I think while my performance in the last challange wasn't the greatest, I can still be a strong social player. Not sure if I'm feeling like Parvati or Hannah Shapiro. I need another few weeks to find out what kind of player I am going to be.
Charlie
I feel so bad for missing the challenge but once again not much new is happening.
Boris
"I have been putting in WERK todah to make sure I'm in the best possible position going into tonight.
I first was talking to Brianna, and she mentioned the only people she didnt wanna vote was me, Apollo, and Bradley. So, naturally, when presented with a majority of the tribe, I suggest an alliance! Ofc she agrees hehe, so now thats in the works.
On my tribe, the most likable people and those I get along with/vibe the most with is Apollo and Zest. I approach them both and plant that seed, another alliance of just us three forms. Im SO excited to be working with them, we bounce off each other really well and I truly think we can go to the end together.
So yeah, even tho I was worried this morning I think I placed myself in a near perfect position. I really don't think theres any way I leave tonight. "
Joey
unfortunately, i wasn’t the best in the challenge but at least i showed up! i was invited in by cassie to an alliance with her felix and flint, but it was obvious i was the last one asked. i plan on being loyal, but i need to let cassie play leader while i get closer with felix. slow and steady.
Thomas M
Not much, Bradley did well on the challenge but unfortunately we are in the bottom. Have been preoccupied with a big assignment so have not gotten to fully experience things in the last round at least. Am nervous of who is going to get booted, excited to see what's to come!
Marie
Wow, idol hunt hates me
Apollo
We lost, I feel like I’m getting played though, if this is the last you’ve seen of Apollo, it’s been a great run!
Brianna
I’m really laughing over Thomas’ first message to me after we lost 30 minutes before tribal....like...it’s a little too late sorry bud
Bradley
It looks like the vote should be Thomas which Im fine with. And theres an alliance of Borris, Apollo, and Brianna who want to make a four person with me which makes me really happy. Started off rocky in this game but with challenge preformance actually helped me a lot.
Apollo
Borris and Apollo? “Name a more iconic duo”

congrats on the new mods!! i love this blog and hope it only means itll be even more active!! do u think u could do an imagine with the v3 boys finding out their s/o has never been kissed before? maybe wanting to be their first?? tysm!!
Tumblr media
so sorry I haven't written anything lately!i've was having a lot of writer's block, especially with this particular imagine, idk whymakes me sad since i love kissing scenarios-
because of this, uh, I chose only five boys from the cast, since these were the only ones i had semblances of good-ish ideas for, i apologize!
in other news i love our audience and my fellow mods like-can i just hug you all
-Mod Gonta
Shuichi, Kokichi, Kiibo, Korekiyo and Gonta's First Kiss with an S/O Who’s Never Kissed Before
Shuichi Saihara- He’d been wanting to kiss you for a while now, he ain’t gonna lie, but he’s been kind of afraid to ask you til now.- You both were simply watching a movie together, cuddled up on the couch.- Shuichi had to muster up all his courage, before gulping and looking at you.- “S/O? I was, um..wondering..”- “H....Have you, um....ever thought about...k-kissing me? ....O-On the lips.”- wow he’s awkward, why did he even say it like that- Though he actually didn’t expect you to say yes. What you said next kind of surprised him.- “I-I was just kind of nervous to initiate it, since, well...u-uh, I’ve never kissed anyone before..”- Ohhh, so that’s why. Well, that was kind of relieving for him.- “M-Me neither,” his face is burning up by now jeez. “...w...would you...wanna try to right now, though?” he’s practically a cherry now that you’ve said yes. Although your blush wasn’t helping your case either.- You both took your time, being shy and hesitant, but ultimately your first kiss was soft and sweet. Like Shuichi.
Kokichi Ouma- “S/O’s never kissed or been kissed before? That’s a shocker~” You couldn’t tell if it was genuine, or sarcastic. Compliment or insult. Or all of the above, you could never tell with him, really-- But Kokichi continued smiling mischievously at you, “Neehehe~ that just means I can claim it, though. So that's convenient!”- Blushing, you avoided his gaze. You didn’t exactly deny nor confirm whether or not you wanted him to be your first.- “What? You don’t want me to kiss you?” he feigned offense, “So rude, I swear..”- “I-I never said that, you know..” of course you probably weren’t gonna admit you wanted to either since it’s Kokichi--- Oh god there’s the grin.- Oh god he’s leaning over.- You were both excited and nervous, but you didn’t flinch back.- “Jeez, relax, S/O. I won’t bite your lip, okay?” really? “I’m being honest for once, I swear.”- “Okay, fine. Don’t be rough, though..”- So, you tried relaxing even though your heart was pounding.- Kokichi took your face in his hands, pulling you closer a bit gently, "Prepare yourself, S/O~" he giggled, and you rolled your eyes a bit, closing them as he initated the kiss.- Afterwards, you looked mildly surprised as he gave you a look.- "What?" "You're a surprsingly good kisser, Kokichi."
Kiibo- You'd never thought Kiibo would ever take much interest in kissing, so you never really asked him about it before.- Plus, it was only a few weeks into the relationship, and the most you both had done was hold hands and maybe a hug or two. Kiibo always seemed really shy to give affection, so you were afraid of causing himto overheat if you suggested kissing. Oh boy, how unexpected this question was for you.- "S/O, I-I was thinking...kissing one's partner is common in relationships, r-right?"- If you'd been drinking anything, you would've had a spit-take.- "U-Uh, yes, why?"- "I had been thinking of it, since I heard it from Miu," (along with other things she had told him were common in relationships but we won't go there)- Kiibo turned to face you, your faces were a matching shade of pink, "A-And I wanted to know if you would mind t-trying it out with me!"- Your silence had made him think you were opposed to the idea, so not even three minutes after he said it, he held up his hands frantically. "P-Please do not worry if it makes you uncomfortable, S/O!"- "N-Not that, I just, uh...well, never kissed before, frankly. B-But I've wanted to! I just thought you'd be uncomfortable if I asked, so I didn't.."- Kiibo blinked, "I see..I guess we were on the same surfboard, then! I'm, uh, glad you thought of me, as well.."- You giggled, "Wavelength, Kiibo. It's wavelength," you gently remind him. His blush grew darker and he huffed, "I-I knew that!"- After you both calmed down, Kiibo stared intently in your eyes, but he still had an aura of shyness around him. "T-Then, um..shall we try now?"- It was a bit awkward at first. You both kind of bumped noses a few times, and couldn't figure out how to position yourselves, but the kiss ended up being sweet regardless.
Korekiyo Shinguuji- You didn't even know how you'd be able to kiss Kiyo with that mask on. Boy nearly never took it off.- So, you never really brought the subject up, since you felt there was a possibility it wouldn't happen. It kinda hurt, but you didn't wanna annoy him or anything.- Kiyo, on the other hand, was interested in kissing you, contrary to what you thought. Even though getting kisses on the cheek and forehead were great in their own right, he wanted to see how you'd do kissing him on the lips for the first time.- So, being straightforward and honest, he one day hugged you from behind, resting his head on your shoulder. "S/O, would you mind kissing me?"- You blinked, kissing him on the cheek as you usually did, "Like that?"- "No, no, I mean...kiss me."- He faced you and your face heated up. Wait was he serious- "S-So suddenly?" "Yes, is that bad?"- Well, no, you were his lover, so of course he'd want to at some point. Though his sudden invitation to had flustered you.- "I-I, um, I don't mind, I suppose. I'm not experienced in it, like, at all..so don't be surprised if it's awkward," you said, turning to face him. why is he so gorgeous- "Not to worry, S/O," he said, doing a thing you never expected him to, "It is your first kiss, is it not?" he took off his mask HE TOOK IT OFF WHAT- Before you could get a good look or even react, his lips met yours as he held your chin gently.- Certainly a kiss you'd never forget. Both for the fact that it was amazing, and for the fact he took off his frickin mask liKE OH MY GOD.
Gonta Gokuhara- So, today, Gonta had invited you over to his house for a small date night. And it was probably one of the better date nights you've had so far.- Legit, this boy had put a lot of effort into tonight, and it showed. He'd cleaned the place up a bit, tried cooking your favorite foods, and even went as far as to try and dress up a bit for the occasion he still excluded shoes but who caresthis was amazing.- Now it was almost time for you to return home, but in the meantime you were simply watching TV with him, leaning against him whilst he held you gently.- "This was a lot of fun, Gonta."- "S/O really think so?" he smiled, "Gonta's glad! Gonta didn't know if he'd do too good, really.."- After a bit longer, Gonta spoke up again, a bit softer.- "U-Um, but...S/O?" "Hm?" "G-Gonta..wanted to ask you something.."- He looked a bit nervous, but once he saw you were paying attention, he spoke again, his cheeks growing a fine shade of red, "...G..Gonta asked his friends if t-they had advice beside...dinner and outfit. A-And, M-Miu said that..Gonta should try kissing S/O after date is over..?" Of course she did.- "Oh, really?" you smiled a bit, "Well, do you want to try, Gonta?" when he nodded shyly, you couldn't help but giggle.- "O-Only if S/O want to! G-Gonta don't wanna make S/O feel weird."- "Well, of course I do," you turned to face him, getting in a better position, "No better way to end a date night than with a kiss, right?" you pause, "And my first kiss at that."- "S/O's first kiss is..gonna be Gonta?" his eyes lit up, "I-I see! Gonta feels honored," he smiled brightly.- "...T-Then, um, is it okay if..?" he got closer, and you nodded.- His first few attempts resulted in him getting shy and hesitant, so to encourage him, you tried at the same time he did. The result was ending the night with a soft and romantic kiss. Didn't last much longer than a minute though since Gonta got too flustered to keep going.

toffee!
no dont apologise! i didnt check until just then so np :)
mmm yeah it is a bit trippy. hehe ITS TRUE THO. yeah sadly i think ur right, and tag blocking is probably a good idea. sometimes smut written well or not in excess is okay but goddamn when its abt 01 line and thats the whole fic... *silently blocks tags*
hehe i do that all the time lol this conversation is carrying on threads from a month ago :) mmm yeah ur probably right sadly, same. HA HE DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE and now i have someone to talk to abt them, so thats good! I KNOW felix was actually the one who got me into skz with his iconique gods menu line so i guess i have a soft spot for him. i always tell myself my bias is chan but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess im more whipped than id like to admit. mmm yeah that does make sense dw i hope they do that as well. YES king seungmin hIMSELF. GODDAMNIT DONT GET ME STARTED ON MINHO IN GODS MENU I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE WAS PART OF THE GROUP UNTIL I STARTED GETTING MORE INTO THEM. BITCH (affectionate) THE LINE DISTRIBUTION HAS BEEN UTTER DOG SHIT but *deep breath* its better now so were moving on adn hoping it stays that way. sis same but i may or may not have gone thru a rlly depressed phase and actively sought out the elimination episodes so i could actually force some tears out of my emotionless shell of a heart but what cna you do? lmaoo i feel that irl, binnie deserves more vocal lines. yesss channies accent is rlly prominent then, i think also the way he structures his phrasing? is more english speaking than korean? but yeah i totally get what ur saying. AJKSAL lmao
okay then! im excited for whenever it gets done! (maybe tag me?) ahh the cold shrivelled heart of a dark au writer beats again at the thought of torturing another poor characters very soul (/j) :(( yeah that would suck not being able to see them. ohhh ur on the other hemisphere to me! were just going into spring rn. mmm smth to look forward to! YES you put it into words. they rlly are pretty independent from the company (remember how jyp rejected that other dudes songs after like 3 seconds and then how he was apparently nervous to show the song hed written to chan cos chan was so good at writing hits ahhh sweet revenge) mmmYES we rlly need a mute and remove notifications button for our brains dont we?
YES CORRECT i totally agree. some people jsut dont give it a try, adn assume its bad cos its korean smh racist assholes. yes! im coming up to my 6 month anniv actually! sis sAME, i feel like theyre being tugged into appealing to the western american market and theyre not staying as true to their artistic flair as a group, especially with only writing english songs atm. *sigh* ah well, at least theyre bringing recognition to the kpop world. AHUH dead on, theyre going to be discarded pretty soon and then where will bp be? theyll prob go solo paths which is rlly sad but what can you do when the company is run by a prideful asshole? yg is not going to last much longer in the big four if they keep this up.
hehe you get it. oooh very cool! whos ur ult? (sorry if youve said this before) mmmm yeah good decision, i feel liek thats probably a wise decision. this is my first album release as a kpop stan (not counting mixtape oh) so i think ill get it for sentiments sake. yeah! im excited for the new music! mingi was the one who got me into them, but atm my bias is seonghwa followed by san, wooyoung and ateez but jonghos high notes man *swoon* he, yeah atm ive got jake, jay, nikki, jungwon and sunoo down so just trying to get the rest :) heh, yeah kard i rlly only got into cos of bm, ive seen him like interacting with a lot of idols and he seemed nice so i decided to check out the group. ikr gunshot man *another swoon*
no noe! i didnt know what it was until i got it lol. thx toffee ill try and take that to mind :) yeah lol im on a waiting list thats not going to be free until late september so hopefully i can hold on until then. hope ur okay, that sounds like it sucks, hope you can find someone. maybe ill just take you along on my phone and the therapist can get a two for one patient deal lmaooo. mmm, sorry no i havent mentioned it before, i dont rlly talk abt it much. uhhh basically hypermobility? if you google it, it doesnt seem bad, jsut joint flexibility but ive got the severe end of the stick, leaning towards ehlers danlos syndrome so thats fun. basically it just makes it hard for me to exercise, run, jump, stand or just walk for long periods of time and gives me a lot of joint and muscle pain so... thats fun! but obviously so many other people have it worse than me, so i try not to complain. normally in young people it will improve as they get older, but my doctor said bc its severe in me, its unlikely to get much better. but again, i dont have the worst lot in the bunch, so its all g.
oh its good that its not the bad type of rain, a light sprinkling can be relaxing sometimes. aww thx darl, the concern is appreciated but it went pretty well and i managed not to cough too much on stage or kill myself trying to run around to the other side of the stage in the pouring rain so thats good! oooh tea buddies! my dogs a labradoodle, but shes a bit more of a feral poodle lol not much labrador in her at all, unless its her relentless urge to hunt down every bird that has ever walked this earth smh :((( hopefully they can come back on soon, does uni have dances?
ahhh a mood if i ever heard one. hopefully things will get better for you soon, ik anxiety sucks ass. ooh thats always good! when its sunny here, its always melt ur thongs to the pavement hot so the nicely cool sunny days are a lovely change. hehe impatience is not so good for you, but good for us that get to see ur beautiful theme early. ahh no worries, itll come eventually hopefully. and if not, then just things that make you not anxious are good. it doesnt have to be black or white, sometimes gray is good. mmmmm sames i have midterms this week to catch up on and then two weeks of end of terms so thats fun! i hope u can overcome that a little, heres some channie to be ur motivation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8LWyNjzOww. hah! i hear that all the time, he seems to be everywhere. did you see that tiktok of hans slowed back door rap, i stg it sounded EXACTLY like namjoon, it kinda scared me. also teh beginning of another day, sounds so much like joon i swear.
that reminds me! idk ur biases! i feel like this should be smth i should know so please! feel free to elaborate!
ahh im glad, i was worried it is. mmm same, so no hard feelings if either of us misses a day or smth. ill start worrying if weeks/months have gone by, but if its just a little while thats more than fine. ill just picture you studiously completing notes and i wont worry lol
<3 w.a. 🐺
at some point i really think i'm going to start blocking accounts because blocking tags won't be enough. i saw ask tags the other day and it just made me want to bleach my eyeballs.
i could talk about god's menu felix for hours man. the teaser for god's menu that featured his part on the bridge made me look forward to the mv release. you: biases chan, also you: lixiesbabyhands. yes you are more whipped than you think. i can't believe orange haired minho was given NOTHING during that era but they kind of made up for it in the b-sides. i also hope it stays that way. the distribution for this era was pretty fair.
"torturing another poor character's soul" in all honesty, i used to live for this. 2017 me leading up to early 2020 wrote nothing but angst. i have another aussie friend on twt and tbh i'm still really (O.o) about the seasons! jyp should be terrified skz could easily take over that company. heck if skz grow old and start their own company, they'd probably do a great job at running it. PLEASE. i have issues on muting/notifications both mentally and in real life. sometimes, i just wish to disappear.
some people in my country are just disgusting tbh. not only racist but homophobic too. they label kpop as 'gay' and it DISGUSTS me. it's a problematic behavior/mindset people in my country need to fucking get rid of. anyway, HELP ME 6 MONTHS??? and i've been in this shit for like a decade eye. tbh, i’m not fond of kpop groups trying to appeal to the western audience :// it feels like they’re losing their identity in a way. yes recognition but at what cost? yg has my favorite groups but that’s one shitty company when it comes to promoting.
okay my ult! it’s haechan from nct but i consider chan an ult too. like a close second above my whopping list of kpop boys. oh yes! you should get the album just for like a keepsake? remembrance? how did mingi appeal to you? omg did you start getting interested in ateez back when he was still on hiatus? NOT YOU BIASING THE SAME PEOPLE I DID WHEN I FIRST STARTED STANNING. the infamous ateez thot-line. jongho is easily one of the best fourth gen vocalists out here, no one can change my mind :( good luck with memorizing the rest of enhypen! just in time for the comeback too. i hope i’ll get into kard soon but i’m pretty content (and a tad bit overwhelmed) with the amount of groups i stan right now.
please hold on though, feel free to vent here if you like. thanks for the offer tho HAHA but like i’ll try to get checked here too when the cases die down a bit. i’m sorry to hear about your condition though :( please don’t ever overwork yourself to the point that your joints/muscles would ache. it’s completely valid to complain about it tho. i get that you have others in mind but keeping that mindset really doesn’t do you (like you internally) any better? so if you need to, vent your frustrations out and don’t keep it in.
oh my god, about your performance last sunday. was the stage out in the open? glad you didn’t cough too much and did well on your concert. i’m proud of you! i can never understand dogs and poor birds T_T uni doesn’t have dances unfortunately. i think there’s just one party at the end like a graduation ball. what year are you in anyway? if it’s something that you’re fine with sharing. if not, it’s cool.
good luck with your exams! and thanks for the link! AHA what a cutie. i think he does this motivation thing once in a while during his lives and it’s just comforting. yeah joon and han my irl just freaked when we made that discovery. ult crumbs for her. oh god not me forgetting about every biases when you asked. you can ask for my biases in a few groups just list down the one’s you’re interested in knowing. 
i missed yesterday because i was grinding and finishing what if we stay + school work. finally did it today. i’m sure i’ll reply in like a day or two, definitely not a month unless i state otherwise. if i ever decide to abandon this blog, i’ll let you know.

Yes all my friends know I write fanfiction. It’s not really something I’m ashamed of, and they usually think its less weird after I tell them I dont write porn
49. Has anyone in your life ever read your fanfic just because you wrote it?
Yes!! My friend Veronica reads all my fics because I wrote them!! she barley even know the fandoms I write for
50. Has writing fanfic had a significant impact on your life? Would you say it’s entirely positive?
Yes it has had a big impact on my life, and I say its mostly positive. I’ve met some of my best friends because of writing fanfiction and that means the world to me
You can find all of my fics on ao3 Here!!
