#nah I’m guilty lmao

[astriddestelle]

Lmao not me having weirdos coming at me from both sides who are way too invested in a 20 year old show. 🤣

I can’t even critique an old show from my childhood and reminisce without randos getting in their feels and writing a whole monologue about how their ship is amazing and unique and I’m dumb news flash I don’t care.

The struggles of being a multishipper. I literally read all ships and have no stake in this fight argue with someone who truly cares please. I guarantee you imma tap out once boredom hits.

I’ve debated with peeps before that’s fun and interesting but the ones who legit be like I’m right and you’re wrong and if you think otherwise you’re stupid I can’t take them seriously 😭

Soon as I realize every single post on your page is about this ship and attacking people who don’t like it nah im out, please get a life. L

And it’s every fandom I’m in too. But some are more guilty of it than others.

a few anons have requested this and also I was in the mood so here are my Top 10 BLs of 2022 (only including the ones that finished this year). Also I have posted more lengthy reviews for each of these shows already so I’m gonna try and keep it short lol. 

not much to say here, if you know me and my blog then you know how much this show and firstkhao have taken over my life this year lmao. I loved the story so much and everything about it felt so genuine all the way through. FK did an incredible job at actually becoming their characters and I was so in awe of their portrayal. They made something incredible out of a little budget and that’s why I cherished it so much. The plot wasn’t perfect, there were holes and weaknesses but firstkhao, paired with the watching experience, made it perfect for me. 13/10. 

this one gets the award for most underrated show of the year lmao. I loved it so much. like.... what an actual masterpiece?? the cinematography was stunning and the whole concept was so captivating. jimmysea delivered big time and while there were some draggy parts in the middle, the script ultimately proved itself to be absolutely outstanding. Sadly it didn’t get the attention it deserved. 

OOF. I mean. How can I not include this mess of a project lmao (affectionate). was the script oscar-worthy? no. did it make a lot of sense? nah. but did I have the time of my life watching it? hell ya. The craze that surrounded this show was insane and it made the whole thing 10x better lmao. It was hilarious, the characters were likable and the chemistries were fire from every couple involved. It was the watching experience that made me put this as my no.3 because I had a blast.

This was such a nice surprise for me because I wasn’t in the mood for another KBL after the disaster that was To My Star 2 lmao but this was absolutely amazing. The script was genius and so was the entire production quality. This was the first show I saw with the 2 leads as I didn’t watch Kissable Lips but I was very pleasantly surprised by their chemistry. I would love to see them in more stuff in the future!  

GOD. This show has my whole heart lmao. I would consider it a guilty pleasure though because it’s definitely not for everyone. But it hit the nail right on the head for me. It was SO adorable and SO hilarious and I have a huge weak spot for kaownah and turbo because they are just so lovely together. Lots of crack but the best kind lmao. Perfect. 

🥺🥺 what an absolute gem of a show this was. A+ comedy and also the perfect proof that you can actually make something out of what seems like the most basic bl plot ever lol. But what they made of it was amazing. MekKim were super entertaining, also Lee and Park had no business being the most adorable couple I’ve ever seen??? sickening. I love them so much. The setup was super nice and it plays with several bl clichés in a very cunning way. Loved it!!!! 

YES I LOVED THIS!!!!!! This show polarized a lot when it aired, mostly because of the body swap plot and also the disney antics lol and tbh I was expecting to agree with the critical opinions as I don’t like body swap tropes but I was surprised by how much I loved it. How they handled the plot was funny and adorable, plus the whole roadtrip theme and all the sceneries were so nice! And needless to say you can never go wrong with EarthMix. they always deliver and especially Mix’s acting left a big impression with me.

This show never got a lot of attention and most reviews were not good but guess what I disagree kfjdghfd. I loved it so much. The dynamic between the mains was fantastic and with so much cuteness it made me sick dfkjghf. The power of this show lies in its minimalism for me, there were so many small endearing things and everything felt 100% natural. Also they were one of the few pairings in a KBL that actually felt like a realistic couple lol. Han Gi Chan was outstanding and considering this was Holland’s acting debut, he did a very decent job as well. Also the cinematography? stunning. I went in with zero expectations and came out with teary heart eyes lol. 

I was fairly excited for this one as it was Joong’s GMMTV debut and I was not disappointed. It doesn’t hold up with some of gmm’s other highlights this year but I liked it!!! It relied a lot on JoongDunk’s chemistry which I’m not mad about though. They’re really good together. The rest of the cast was also top-notch with an A+ friend group lol. The plot wasn’t super elaborate but once again, the watching experience did it for me lol. 

I liked this one a lot!!! It was the first KBL that I thoroughly enjoyed since Light On Me and it was so much fun to watch!! The chemistry between the leads was top-notch and even though it doesn’t quite hold up with some other KBLs for me, I still wanted to put it on my list because that’s what it deserves lol. 

thank you 2022 for giving us good gay food lmao. here’s to an even better 2023!! ✨

#thai bl #korean bl #bl dramas #top 10 #top 10 of 2022 #bl drama #feel free to tag me in your top 10 lol im curious!! 💜 #happy new year!!!!!!!

—-----------------

You heaved a sigh, snapping the book closed before you stood up and stretched a little. You weren’t sure who the cabin belonged to before Rawlins had taken over but there were a few books here that were pretty useful. The one you’d been reading was about herbal remedies and while it wasn’t exactly a perfect substitute for actual medication, it was better than nothing and you loved learning. You’d been hanging out in your room all morning, not really having anything to do and feeling a little bored. You hadn’t planted your potatoes yet, knowing that it was best to plant them early spring and you were still in the shitty winter phase right now. You were anxious to get going with them but if you planted them too early, they wouldn't do much and it would be pointless. As you walked to your door, you heard banging about in the room next to yours. Billy’s room. It sounded like he was turning the place upside down and you glanced to the wall that separated your rooms with a raised brow. If he wasn’t such a dick, you might have gone to see what the hell he was doing. Instead, you just moved to the door and walked out. Since the god-awful run you’d been on almost a week ago, he hadn't said one word to you. It was better than being a little bitch, but you still didn’t like it. You kind of thought after he helped you in the truck that maybe it would be an opening, maybe Zach had gotten through to him and he’d start to be nicer. He didn’t have to pick you up and help you in the truck, after all. He could have just hopped right in himself and left you standing there like an idiot. You shook your head as you made your way down the hall, curiosity eating at you to know what the fuck he was doing. When you got downstairs, pretty much everyone else was on the lower floor all doing their own thing.

“Hey, Matt, how’s the leg?” you asked wryly, standing near one of the sofas that he was on. His leg was bandaged up as he sat sideways, his leg outstretched in front of him.

“It’s doing okay,” he smiled softly and you nodded even though he couldn't see it. He’d hurt his ankle on a run two days before and it left you without a hunting partner. It wasn't like you couldn't go alone, but you’d gotten used to having someone come with you now. You’d taken Foggy with you yesterday and quickly realized he wasn’t coming again. The man couldn't be quiet to save his life. 

“Need a drink or anything?” you asked and he shook his head with another smile.

“Nah, I’m good. Karen’s been fussing over me,” he chuckled and you snorted.

“I don’t doubt it,” you grinned, patting him on the shoulder before you made your way into the kitchen where Karen was.

“Something smells good,” you smirked, making her turn to you and smile as she stirred something in a large pan.

“I’m making a stew, just thought I’d throw whatever in it,” she shrugged with a smile but she had a worried look in her eyes that made you feel a little guilty. Meat had been hard to find lately with how cold it had been, you’d barely caught anything and all of you had already depleted your preserved meat stash. It would be fine for the rest of you, still having canned foods, but Sarah had been a little unwell recently and you and Karen were concerned she wasn’t getting the nutrients she needed for the baby. 

“I’ll head out soon and see if I can get anything,” you murmured with a slight frown. She looked a little guilty then at how obvious she’d been. You knew it wasn't you she was upset with, just the circumstances in general.

“We’ll be fine even if you don’t,” she grinned with a nod but you knew she was trying to put on a brave face. Everything here seemed almost perfect with the current set up and you knew you were lucky. But food was going to be a constant battle in this new world and eventually, you’d run out of all the canned goods too. You didn’t want to think about it. 

You heard a slight commotion behind you and turned to look over to the living area, seeing Billy overturning the sofa cushions as he muttered on with himself.

“What's with him?” you asked curiously as you looked back to Karen. She looked over at Billy and shrugged.

“No idea. He lost something but he won’t say what, so it’s not like we can help find it,” she rolled her eyes. You noticed Zach then, who was watching Billy with a slight smirk on his face. The boy watched as Billy chucked the cushions off the second sofa, looking like he was ready to throttle someone and you wondered why the hell he wouldn’t just tell people what he was looking for. Your eyes moved back to Zach then as he walked passed you and slipped out of the back door. You were curious so you followed after him. He was standing just outside with his back mostly turned away and something in his hands.

“What's that?” you asked, making him jump and spin around. Your eyes immediately went to the object in his hands only to see the blackbird you’d made Billy what felt like forever ago. You blinked at it slowly before looking back to Zach who looked caught out and you raised a brow.

“Is that what he’s looking for?” you asked slowly and Zach looked away as he nodded. You were a little confused for a moment. You had no idea why Billy was turning the place inside out for this given the fact he acted like he hated you now. 

“I just… I did it to prove a point,” Zach muttered, a defiant spark in his eyes.

“What point?” you asked. He sighed, toying with the bird in his hands as he shifted on his feet.

“That he still cares about you,” he admitted and his words felt like a slap to the face. You knew he’d spoken to Billy a week ago but you didn’t think this whole thing had been on his mind still to do this. 

“He acts like he doesn’t, but if he didn’t, why’s he so upset he can’t find this?” he asked, quirked a brow at you. You shrugged, stuffing your hands in your pockets.

“No idea, the man makes no sense,” you snorted and Zach shook his head with a frown.

“It’s because he’s lying. I don’t know why or what happened, but he’s pushing you away. Uncle Billy… he just… he does this sometimes, pushing people away. I’ve seen him do it before… he’s even done it to Karen a few times. I know he cares about you, that you're family to him. So I’m showing him he’s being stupid,” he declared, standing taller at his words. You couldn't fault his logic. If Billy didn’t care at all then he wouldn't even be bothered right now, which meant he did care. It made you feel only marginally better though because you were still confused about why he was pushing you away so badly. Your previous logic still held up with Zach’s theory. That he’d kissed you in the moment or to get you to do what he wanted and then he regretted it. The fact you kissed him back made it obvious you liked him and now he felt uncomfortable. It was the only thing you could come up with. He’d been fine with you until that kiss happened so you knew that had been the catalyst to this. You sighed and held your hand out and Zach blinked at you.

“Are you gonna give it him back?” he asked carefully.

“Yeah,” you nodded. He looked conflicted for a moment before he handed you the bird.

“Good luck,” he murmured, giving you a wry smile before he went back inside. 

You moved to sit on the back porch step, glancing down at the bird. It made your chest ache. You missed him so much and you were sick of this bullshit he was pulling. He still cared, you knew that much. If the kiss was really the problem then you just had to confront him, tell him to get over it so you guys could move on. You hadn’t been able to be happy here despite how amazing the place was and how lucky you all were to find it, not when Billy had been keeping you at arm's length. You wanted your friend back, you didn't care about your stupid feelings anymore. It was ridiculous anyway to fall for someone in the damn apocalypse, you’d been living in a fantasy land. The idea of approaching him made nerves bloom in your belly though. You had no idea how he would react and by confronting him, you would be opening yourself up for him to hurt you more. It was worth a chance though, it would be better than this. As if your thoughts had summoned him, he slipped out of the back door, not noticing you off to the side as he walked down the steps and looked around, like he was trying to retrace his steps. You’d figured he’d had it somewhere in his room, that he’d probably forgotten about it with all that had gone down with the pair of you. But if he was looking out here then it meant he’d still been carrying it with him. His back was to you as he looked around and you stood up, taking a shaky breath. You tried to will some confidence in yourself, it wasn’t like you to be so weak and pathetic. Billy told you once you were strong, a survivor. Your spare hand went to the scar along your throat that most days you forgot about now. 

“Looking for this?” you asked, sounding far more confident than you felt. He whipped around with shock on his face at the fact he didn’t even know you were there but then his dark eyes flit to the bird in your hand. A few emotions passed across his face in quick succession. First was surprise, then he looked mildly embarrassed that you knew what he was looking for. But then his face hardened and he rolled his shoulder, tensing his jaw as he stared at you.

“You took it?” he asked blandly, looking unimpressed. 

“No, Zach did actually,” you shrugged, tilting your head at him a little. Maybe a petty part of you liked how uncomfortable he seemed right now. But who could blame you with how much of an asshole he’d been with you?

“You gonna give it me back or…?” he asked, his tone snarky as he glared at you.

“Nah, not yet,” you smirked and his back straightened a little.

“If you’re gonna be a bitch, then fine,” he huffed, moving to go back to the cabin but you stepped in front of him, blocking his way and his nostrils flared as he gave you a dirty look.

“I’m really confused here. You’ve been wrecking the place looking for this, which doesn’t make sense since you apparently hate me,” you muttered with a raised brow. He looked away quickly, closing his eyes for a brief moment as he shook his head.

“You know I don’t hate you, Y/N,” he murmured weakly.

“No, I don’t know, because lately, you’ve been acting like a real asshole,” you huffed. He looked at you then and you couldn't really read his face, but he didn’t say anything.

“I’m done playing games. I know you still care about me because you still care about this. So we kissed, big fucking deal! We’re two adults, Billy, it doesn’t need to be weird and it doesn’t have to mean anything. Adrenaline was running high, shit happens. I mean… Karen and Matt used to be a full blown thing and they get along fine and Frank hasn’t stabbed him yet. If they can do that, why do we need to be like this just because of a stupid kiss?” you rambled with a frown. It wasn’t stupid, not to you, but you wouldn't dare tell him that. You hoped by convincing him it wasn't a big deal that he’d be able to get over whatever the hell was going on with him. He licked his lower lip, glancing away with a slight crease in his brows. 

“I just…” he trailed off, his frown deepening and you clutched the bird in your hand tighter.

“Whatever it is, it doesn't matter. Can’t we just move on from this? I miss you,” you admitted, heat creeping into your cheeks. Part of you wanted to hear his explanation, to fully understand why he felt the need to push you so far away. But you worried if he said the kiss was a mistake or went into how he didn't like you like that, that you wouldn't be able to take it, even if you already knew he felt that way. He looked back at you then, his dark eyes soft and warm for the first time in what felt like forever.

“I… I miss you too,” he murmured quietly and the relief you felt made you breathless. 

“So let's just move past this. You were… you were my best friend and I hate it here without you. We were Y/N and Billy, the dynamic duo,” you smirked wryly, trying to ease the heaviness you felt in your chest. His lips quirked up a little then but he had a sad look in his eyes.

“Ares and Artemis,” he grinned and you felt warmth spread from your chest all the way to your fingers and toes. 

“I’m- I’m sorry, I know I’ve been a real asshole. I said a lot of shit-” he started with a frown.

“It’s fine. I said shit too,” you shrugged. Honestly, some of his words had hurt you but you just wanted this over with.

“Right, but you said shit ‘cause I said shit. I just… I lash out sometimes and I shouldn’ta said the shit I did. I didn’t mean it,” he frowned, his eyes boring into you. You nodded, looking away a little as you smiled. 

“Let’s just pretend this didn’t happen. Erase everything since the whole Rawlins thing,” you snorted and he smiled. He looked at you for a long moment and part of you wondered how long it would take for the awkwardness to settle after this. But then he was opening his arms out to you, giving you a sheepish smile. You rolled your eyes, trying to act like the small act didn’t make your heart beat all funny as you stepped over to him. He wrapped his arms around you the way he always did, one hand on your back, the other cradling the back of your head. Your arms were around his middle and you melted into him, letting him soothe you in a way you’d missed immensely. He pressed his face into your hair, holding you tightly and you tried to will the lump in your throat to leave you alone. You were just relieved you could both move past this and get back to normal. He held you for a long while and part of you thought that maybe he needed it just as much as you. Maybe he didn’t have romantic feelings for you but he definitely cared and that meant more to you than anything. When he did finally release you, he flashed you a smile that made your legs wobble and you handed him the bird back. He looked at it for a long moment, a wistful look on his face before he put it in his pocket. 

“So, I was gonna head out hunting soon, see what I can find. You wanna come?” you asked hopefully. He glanced to the back door before back at you, shoving his hands into his pockets. 

“Matt not goin’?” he asked. There wasn’t any malice in it like the last time he’d brought that up and you shook your head.

“His leg’s still not healed. I was gonna go on my own but you’re a good hunting partner,” you shrugged and he smiled.

“Alright, sounds good,” he nodded and you couldn't help the smile on your face. 

Not long after, you and Billy were walking back to the cabin after being out hunting for a few hours. All you had to show for it was one rabbit, but you tried to tell yourself it was better than nothing. Billy had been oddly quiet the whole time and not the usual kind so as to not scare off the animals. It was a strange silence that made your stomach twist in knots and he kept having this vacant look on his face that worried you. 

“Are we okay?” you asked hesitantly once you got nearer the cabin. Your heart was thumping against your ribs at his answer, wondering if he’d changed his mind about staying friends. He looked at you then, the vacant stare turning into a small frown as he shook his head. 

“Yeah, we… I uh…” he shook his head, sounding a little lost and then he took your hand and led you over to the porch. Your nerves increased tenfold as he got you to sit down and he sat next to you. Was this where he told you he’s changed his mind?

“What’s going on, Billy?” you asked nervously. He wouldn't look at you, his hand still clutching yours in a death grip as his mouth opened and closed a few times but nothing came out. Then out of nowhere, he started crying. Your eyes widened as he lowered his head, his spare hand coming to cover his face as large heaving sobs wracked his chest and you were at a loss on what to do.

“Billy, what’s wrong?” you asked, scooting closer to him. You took your hand from his grip to wrap an arm around him, feeling completely speechless and confused about what had him in this state. You’d seen him upset before, seen him have a panic attack, but you’d never seen this. He gravitated towards you, leaning into you with his face in your neck and you felt his tears wet your skin as you held him and stroked his hair. 

“I… I just…” he couldn't get his words out through his tears and your frown deepened as you held him tightly. When he moved away, his cheeks were soaked and you didn’t think you’d ever seen him look so lost before as he shook his head, wiping his eyes angrily. He tried to get a rein on himself but while his sobs decreased, his tears didn’t seem to stop.

“I thought… I thought after Rawlins… I thought I’d feel better or just… somethin’... But I just… I feel so goddamn empty,” he lamented painfully and your chest felt like it caved in.

“It’s okay, Billy. It’s a lot to take in, it can be overwhelming,” you murmured, trying to soothe him as you took his hand again. He gripped it tightly as he sniffled and shook his head. 

“What we did in there, what I did… we didn’t make it quick or painless. We made it hurt, we made him regret every fuckin’ thing he ever did wrong,” he snarled, eyes flashing dangerously through his tears for a second. 

“I was… I was a monster in there, and for what? I don’t feel better, it ain’t gonna bring Maria and the kid back. All I feel is a hollow emptiness in my chest. I waited so long to get my hands on that piece of shit for what he did, and now all I got is the memories of what I did and it doesn't satisfy me at all,” he ranted, eyes looking confused as they flit around.

“It’s just… more blood on my goddamn hands,” he whispered with a haunted look. You removed your hand before you moved to stand, dropping to your knees in front of him in the wet mud. His eyes finally focused on you then and the pain shining back at you felt like a stab right through the chest.

“How can you even stand to be around me after all I’ve done?” he asked with a raw voice and you swallowed the lump in your throat.

“You’re not a bad man, Billy,” you frowned with a wobbly voice. You took both of your hands in his as he squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head. 

“You don’t know what I’ve done,” he argued tearfully.

“And you don’t know what I’ve done, but you’ve seen me kill people. That's the way the world is now and maybe you did shit before the world fell, but I don’t care. I’ve seen the real you and I know you’re a good man. Whatever you did to Rawlins… I don’t care, he deserved it. He deserved every bit of pain you and Frank gave him for what he took away,” you insisted and he looked down, his lower lip trembling a little. You moved your hands and gripped either side of his face, forcing him to look at you. You’d never seen anyone look so vulnerable before. Was this why he pushed you away? He’d told you before he went inside that he didn’t want you to see him like that.

“I will never judge you. We’re family, okay? I’ve got your back no matter what, you don't need to hide from me,” you implored vehemently. He blinked his soaked eyes at you for a moment, his hands coming to rest over yours on his face before he rested his forehead on yours. 

“You deserve better than to have someone like me in your life,” he muttered painfully.

“That’s just bullshit,” you scoffed and he moved away, giving you a look as your hands fell from his face. You knew he was about to try and argue his point but you weren’t having any of it.

“Do I deserve better than to have Frank in my life?” you asked pointedly and his brows furrowed as he averted his damp eyes.

“That’s… that’s different,” he bit out.

“No, it’s not. You and Frank are almost the same. Have you done bad shit? Yeah, but it doesn’t make you a bad guy, just like Frank isn’t. Whatever you think I deserve or need… you’re wrong. What I need in my life are good people, people I know will come through for me if I need them to. People who have my back no matter what and trust that I’ll do the same. I have that now, I have it here with you guys… with you,” you implored, hoping he would see it clearer. You knew just this one talk wouldn't change him, he clearly had issues and from what you’d heard from Karen, he had done for quite a while. You just didn’t have a clue why he was saying this now or why he thought you deserved better. He sniffed and wiped his eyes again, unable to look at you for a moment.

“Besides, no matter what you say, you’re stuck with me now. You already tried getting rid of me once and it didn’t work,” you gave him a wry smile, hoping to lighten the mood a little and it worked as his lips curved up slightly. He nodded, almost like he was nodding to himself before he stood and you blinked up at him, unsure on what to expect now. But then he held his hand out to you and you took it, letting him pull you to your feet. You were worried for a brief moment he was going to freak out, much like he had done over his panic attack that day. You knew enough by now to know he didn’t like feeling vulnerable or weak in front of anyone. He pleasantly surprised you though when he wrapped you in a hug and you held him tightly, trying to show him without words that you’d meant what you’d told him. 

“Thank you,” he murmured into your hair and you smiled into his chest, giving him a squeeze. 

“You don’t need to thank me,” you replied softly and he chuckled.

“Now you’re startin’ to sound like me,” he smirked and you scoffed, moving away with a mock offended look on your face.

“Take that back!” you glared and his smile grew, causing your chest to ache a little.

“Nah,” he shook his head and you reached out, pinching his side and he yelped. 

“You’re so mean to me,” he huffed, practically pouting at you.

“Well, someone has to keep you in line,” you snorted and he squinted at you. His dirty look was dampened by the smile tugging at his lips though. You were glad you’d managed to talk him down from whatever ledge he’d been dangling off and while you weren’t sure if he’d fully listened, it was enough for now at least. You hated seeing him that way.

The next day, you were traipsing through the trees, your bow in your hand and your quiver over your shoulder. You’d asked Billy to come hunting with you but he hadn't been able to. Frank hadn't been able to get any fences on the botched run so he’d decided to just make some. He’d been cutting down thick branches from the surrounding trees to make them and he needed help. With Matt also being laid up, this had you out hunting on your own. Dinner the night before had been much more relaxed and you’d enjoyed it. It was obvious to everyone that you and Billy were okay now. He’d included you in conversation and he’d decided to abandon his seat on Frank and Karen’s sofa to sit on the floor near your chair as you both ate. Thankfully, no one mentioned you and Billy and they just got on as normal. You didn’t want things to be weird if people pointed it out. You wanted to just forget it ever happened in the first place, just like you’d told Billy. It was over with now, life was too short to dwell on stupidity. So you’d all had a good dinner without any tension looming over you and Zach had been more than pleased with himself, feeling like he had been the one to do it. You were in the middle of tracking a rabbit and you really hoped you’d find it. You weren’t too far out from camp, maybe a half hour walk away. You’d realized halfway here you’d left your walkie but you decided not to go back and get it, not thinking you’d be out here for too long. You didn’t want the rabbit to get too much of a head start on you either. You’d put down a few stray dead ones on your way, but other than that, it had been pretty quiet and uneventful. You’d admit to missing having company on your little hunting trips now. It was strange to think how much you’d settled into being in a group once more. You crouched down to look at the tracks, figuring out which way the rabbit had gone. You’d be pretty pissed if you eventually found it, only to see it being munched on by a roamer. It wouldn't be the first time. You got your bearings and stood back up, but then you heard the click of a gun before it was pressed into the back of your head and you sucked in a harsh breath.

“Don’t move,” the voice snarled. It was a woman and her voice was gravelly. It made your whole body tense up as you blinked in front of you.

“I don’t want any trouble, I was just tracking a rabbit,” you murmured, trying to sound as least threatening as you could.

“That’s funny considering you’re in our neck of the woods,” she responded, sounding like she was smirking. Our. She was part of a group. Your heart was going a mile a minute as you tried to figure out how to get out of the situation you found yourself in.

“Drop the bow and arrows,” she instructed harshly. You pursed your lips but did as she asked, dropping your bow to the floor before you carefully pulled off the quiver and let it hit the floor. 

“Turn around,” she demanded. You did as she said, hands up in surrender and you finally saw her. She looked around mid 40’s with short gray hair, her face severe as she looked at you, her gun aimed at your head.

“Where’s your group?” she asked with a glare.

“I don’t have one,” the lie rolled so easily off your tongue like a reflex but she snorted, looking at you amused.

“Bullshit. Where are they?” she asked again, her smirk turning cold.

“I don’t have one,” you bit out again, your whole body held tightly like a coil about to snap.

“You know how I know you’re lying?” she asked mockingly and you just stared at her blankly.

“I know because you’re clean, you’re well fed. No one on their own looks like you do,” she pointed out with a raised brow. You knew she wasn’t fully wrong. When you’d been on your own, you’d looked almost as bad as the dead ones. You hadn't counted on her being so observant, the others usually weren’t. 

You still didn't say anything and she looked annoyed, clutching her gun tighter as she shifted on her feet.

“You’re gonna tell me where they are,” she hissed.

“I’m really not,” you replied, your lips tugging into a smirk when she looked even more pissed. 

“You want to play it that way, that’s fine,” she grinned darkly and it only made your nerves increase. With her free hand, she grabbed the walkie clipped to her hip before bringing it to her mouth.

“JJ, you there?” she asked, keeping her eyes on you.

“Yeah, I’m here,” a voice sounded through the walkie.

“I got a live one here. Get a group of ten, bring some vans,” she started before she rattled off some coordinates. Her words did little to ease you as you took in the information. You had no idea how big her group would be.

“She won’t tell me where her group is so bring Samson with you. He’ll get it out of her,” she smirked at you and something about her tone made a shiver shoot down your spine. You knew just what she was implying. 

“What are we doing once we find out where they are?” the voice asked.

“The usual. Take everything they have, leave nothing behind. No survivors,” she muttered darkly and you felt white hot rage suddenly surround you like it was trying to smother you. The voice on the other end said something about setting off soon but you didn’t bother to listen. In a quick succession of movements, you grabbed your knife from your thigh before slashing it across her throat. She hadn’t even seen it coming. The walkie and gun fell from her hands, thumping into the mud as her hands flew to her neck that was spewing blood rapidly. Her mouth moved but the only noise that left her lips was wet garbled noises before she wobbled and hit the floor. Your chest was heaving as you watched at her go limp, everything that just happened spinning around in your brain. Her group would be on their way, you needed to get out of here. You considered stabbing her in the head so she didn’t come back but decided against it. Maybe when her guys got here, she’d take a chunk out of a couple of them. Reanimation times seemed to vary so you had no idea. You swiped the walkie off the floor before grabbing your quiver, shoving it over your shoulder and then grabbing your bow. Then you took off running. 

Your lungs burned with an intensity you didn’t think you’d felt before and you ran right out to the road. You never did that as it was far too out in the open and with her people coming, it was risky. But you didn’t want to leave tracks that led them right to your doorstep, to your people. You’d take that risk if it meant keeping them safe. Your boots thudded against the asphalt as you pushed your legs to keep going, even as they ached and begged you to stop. By the time you got to the cabin, you felt lightheaded and you burst through the door like the Kool-Aid guy, making everyone turn to look at you quickly. Their eyes widened at the state of you and it was only then you realized you had blood splattered all over you. After a moment of shocked silence, they all started talking over each other, asking you what happened. Billy walked right over, his dark eyes rapidly assessing you as he took your hand and made you sit on a sofa as you caught your breath. He sat next to you, a hand on your back as he rubbed it soothingly. 

“There’s a group,” you panted, taking a bottle of water as Karen handed it to you and you gave her a grateful smile before chugging some. You felt Billy tense beside you at your words, his hand flexing on your back.

“How many?” Frank asked instantly, his no-nonsense tone as he looked at you.

“I don’t know. There was a woman and she had a gun on me. She was asking where you guys were and I wouldn't tell her. She walkied her guys and told them to bring a group of ten with some vans, said they wouldn't leave survivors. She told them to send some guy named Samson, that he'd get the info out of me. I’m pretty sure they were gonna torture me for it,” you muttered. Billy didn’t just tense this time, his whole body seemed to go still like a statue and his breathing got heavier. 

“Where is she?” he growled, his voice low and deadly.

“She’s dead, I slit her throat,” you admitted. No one seemed to judge you for it and you didn’t think you’d ever get used to a world where murder became the norm. 

“I got this though, I don’t know if her guys are gonna be checking in,” you sighed, handing Frank the walkie and he took it with a nod.

“How far out were they?” Karen asked as she toyed with her bottom lip worriedly. 

“They aren’t too close but.. It’s still too close. I was like half an hour away East,” you explained before you turned your gaze to Frank.

“When the guy on the walkie asked her what they were gonna do once they got here, she said ‘the usual’. These guys aren’t new to this and she was pretty observant. I think she might have been their leader so I’m pretty sure we just pissed them off big time,” you frowned and he nodded, looking deep in thought. He started going on about needing to get the fences up quicker, needing at least some defenses and he started talking about more patrols, even in the day. You tuned him out as you tried to calm yourself down. You’d started to get too comfortable here, once again letting your guard down. Eventually, everyone went back to what they were doing, although now worried and the tension in the air was palpable. 

“You alright?” Billy asked you. He hadn’t moved from his spot next to you. You turned to look at him and his eyes looked concerned as he gazed at you.

“Yeah… I’m fine. I just… really didn’t think we’d need to deal with this again so soon,” you frowned with a sigh. Just when things were going good, something had to come along to try and ruin it. You really hated it.

“We’ll deal with it, don’t worry,” he said firmly. There was a dark look in his eyes though and you knew he meant his words. You would worry though, no matter what he said. You had no idea how big this group was, what their weapons were like or even where they were camping out. They could be a lot closer than you all thought. You thought about the conversation the woman had on the walkie, how they were willing to kill you all over some supplies. But now you’d gone and killed presumably their leader, you’d gone and made it personal. You thought being killed might be too merciful now after that and it worried the shit out of you. Your eyes drifted to Sarah and the kids. She was smiling as she spoke to them but you could see the tension in her, see the worried glimmer in her eyes. They didn’t deserve this. You wouldn’t let these assholes ruin this for them, wouldn't let them get hurt. You’d do whatever it took to keep them all safe.

Stumbled upon ur tragedy verdante thots.. do u have some more to spare my liege.. obsessed with verdante as a bus stop on the way of their respective journeys… also for this I’m assuming this is with og!dante being unknown to versillius? sigh hm anyway yeah really thinking! Abt requited but situation of it all .. just not being fit for it! Wowzies *takes a drag of ze blunt*

(opening my thesis paper) "a bus stop on the way of their respective journeys" and "requited love but the situation of it all is just not being fit for it" are both incredible ways to summarize my thoughts on verdante being a tragedy GAH

and actually! i do cook this with the idea that vergilius knew pre-clocked!dante and that at worst he either fucking despised them or at best his annoyed indifference towards them. then bam, current dante being SO different and actually is so compassionate and genuinely kind and he doesn't know what to do about it

bc how should he feel when someone you knew who was an asshole turned out to be so... nice. the knowledge that without the city grinding them down dante is actually so kind at their core. at the same time the tragedy of the kindness being torn out of pre-clocked!dante from that. does it count as taking advantage of them when they lost their memories from before? is it hypocritical of him to agree to their... arrangement with that in mind? he's so goddamn guilty about it lmao

don't get me wrong tho Vergilius isn't an asshole to dante for the sake of being mean. nah, if you think about it so far in canon he actually has never gotten pissed at dante before. even when he's threatening them at the start he's just doing his job to kickstart dante into reviving the sinners. and hell, his asshole level to dante afterwards is mostly like, sarcasm and his refusal to give dante any straight answers. he's mostly just an exhausted guy to me lmao

what i LOVE is exploring just how emotionally constipated they are (both of them) and their incapability to properly communicate without being cryptic yet at the same time they've agreed to a colleagues with benefits arrangement that sometimes is domestic if you squint. they're both so funny to me i want to beat them up so bad

#chatter #limbus company #verdante #this is the baseline of all my verdante btw everything else is just additional spices added depending on my mood #anyways they both never ever say i love u ever it's just not them verg especially is an actions over words guy to me

[atopvisenyashill]

Honestly, it's also always braime shippers that believe Jaime won't be directly involved in Cersei's death because they feel like that would leave a stain on their ship's little romance... Everyone has their biases.

As for myself, I do think he will outlive her and finish his arc in the north, I just very much doubt he will only cause damage from afar. They will need to face eachother again, simply because it would be so unfulfilling from a storytelling point of view to leave all of their stuff unresolved. Especially when this is probably one of the most significant relationships in the series (it literally ignites the entire conflict).

"on their ship's lil romance" first of all, fuck off oh my god. second of all, i ship daemyra, i ship visaemon, i've been known to read a little sansan and jon/ygritte, do you think a little spousal murder or domestic violence is gonna stop me from shipping braime? get the fuck out of here and be serious lmao.

the importance of braime is not just "a lil romance" it is integral to the themes of the books. you can't make the argument that lannicest is one of the most significant relationships in the series and then ignore the fact that a) we do not get the PoV of either character until after Brienne comes into the picture because SHE is ultimately what ignites the conflicts in all three of their characters and b) the themes of knighthood, chivalry, oath keeping, and protecting the weak and innocent aren't also integral to the plot of the entire series when Jaime makes his iconic and character defining "they make you swear so many vows" speech while Brienne is standing there listening to him. If you want me to get into the annoying ass biases, I think it's misogynistic that people applauded the Braime ending of the show when it completely divorces Brienne (and the twins!!!) from the bulk of her story arc, and that chalking up Braime as "a lil romance" is a misogynistic way of undercutting the importance of her identity arc! I'm not discounting the importance of Lannicest, so let's not fucking start with this "my ship is more important than your ship" bullshit.

What I am actually saying is that people take a literal reading of the valonqar prophecy that does not apply to a single other prophecy in the entire series, and I find it perplexing, and annoying, the same way I find the digging in the heels defense of Aegon VI being the mummer's dragon to be perplexing and annoying. The whole series is setting up this idea that you can't trust prophecies and that knowing about a prophecy is often mentally damaging, but the fans (including D&D) just wholesale swallow both Cersei and Dany's opinions on their prophecies as correct and I don't buy that. I also never said the Lannister twins won't meet again. In fact what I said was:

Yeah, I’m well aware of that, I’m not saying he’s doing anything nice to her, i think he’ll have a hand (badum-ts) in her dying, probably enough to feel guilty over it too (plus whatever is happening with tyrion) but he’s not strangling her to death and I simply do not believe he’s dying right after either. What is he doing? no idea. they’re at casterly rock and he uses the last of the conditioner and then he leaves. i have no idea and I think people who are insistent that he HAS to murder-suicide his way out of the story are overconfident af about that ending.

AKA I think it's likely all three of the Lannisters are going to meet again at Casterly Rock, likely as its being destroyed. Of course they're going to meet again; no one serious denies that. But is he going to murder-suicide when they do? I am doubtful. In Jaime's mind, the last we see him, he considers himself effectively divorced from Cersei. He quite literally abandons her to die in a trial by combat to go play in the woods with Brienne. But I'm supposed to believe that he's still angry enough to go all crime of passion on her at this point? Nah son!! Just because he's going to "choke the life from her" does not literally mean he's going to actually choke the life from her, any more than Dany is going to literally fuck up some puppet dragon or Euron literally turned into a crow, munched on some seaweed, and perched on Jaqen's shoulder while Jaqen offed Balon.

#*shirley bennett voice* i accept all ships but the lord is testing me :) #asks #anons #bittersweet beauty and the beast #prophecies of asoiaf #i also think it's WILDLY misogynistic to say that brienne is 'more than a beauty and the beast character' like TELL ME YOU HAVE NEVER READ #BATB AND DON'T UNDERSTAND BELLE AS A CHARACTER WITHOUT TELLING ME. DESIRING LOVE IS NOT A WEAKNESS!!

[bitchapalooza]

So my friend and I make a lot of ocs together and two of them for ace attorney is Phoenix’s parents and we’ve named them Acacia and Chelidon. And I’ve been kind of developing Chelidon more and he’s just. A dad who likes it old fashioned, hates the police with a passion(and refuses to speak to them), runs a small corner convenience store, and is always telling Nick to sit up straight, don’t slouch, do you want to become your mother(referencing her slight hunchback from her own habit of slouching constantly in her youth, not insulting her anything, nah he fucking loves his wife lmao, he tells her not to slouch either). And now I just wanna write a fic where Chelidon is a witness to a murder and he’s refusing to give out his security footage(until a warrant is issued) and has to be begged by his son to stop being stubborn and to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give his statement to the court because it could prove his client not guilty. When he finally does he’s so fucking open about being told to not say this or that by Edgeworth; “Now I was told not to say this but I hate being told what to do like that by a child so I’m saying it anyway.” Phoenix cross examines him “Don’t you talk to your father that way, young man!” “Dad— er, Mr. Wright. Please just answer the question.” “Fine. I looked outside the window because I heard a scream. And then tires and a vroom-vroom and another scream.” “Why didn’t you call the police after that first scream? There’s a phone right nex—“ “Screw the police. They are pigs.” “Oh my god he’s going to cost me my job….” He’s just so fucking frustrating to work with, it becomes pretty obvious where Phoenix gets most of his traits from(his mom).

tagged by the lovely @aloveforjaneausten, thank you so much!!!

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 49!

2. What's your total AO3 words count? 315,193. god help me

3. What fandoms do you write for? actively just the one (potc), but the bulk of my ao3 is final fantasy vii, fullmetal alchemist, and assassin’s creed. almost all of my unpublished personal stuff is dragon age. one day it’ll see the light of day. one day

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

a house, a hearth, a (s)holmes (the great ace attorney, 2021)

good company (fullmetal alchemist, 2016)

heart & home (fma, 2017)

the need of everything (fma, 2018–2020)

benchfellows (ff7, 2020)

i'm proud of all of these but flabbergasted by benchfellows, which is 800 words and something i wrote and posted impulsively at like 2am. but. yknow. the kudos are beyond my power.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? almost always! nothing makes you forget how to say “thank you” like a normal human being than comments on your work!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? almost everything i write ends on a melancholy note, but o sleeper (ff7) is probably the worst of them. and that’s really just the threat of canon rearing its head

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? the storm at your door (assassin’s creed) was specifically written to give ezio and sofia a better ending than what they got in canon, and by god i stand by it

8. Do you get hate on fics? thankfully not!

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind? nah. i don’t particularly enjoy reading smut, nor do i have any talent for making it not sound stilted. sex will get hinted at but rarely do i write anything more explicit than someone’s bits being out in the wind

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? have you heard the good word of my potc/temeraire crossover that is getting quickly out of hand? and till the long days (AC) is not NECESSARILY a crossover, but entwines the world of AC with greek mythology in a major way.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? / 12. Have you ever had a fic translated? / 13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before? nope to all three!

14. What's your all-time favourite ship? i don’t ship much tbh, and while i wouldn’t say i’m the most fond of them, my longest lasting ship has been cloud/aerith. we’re going on 18 years together and i’d be lying if i said they weren’t part of why i started writing in the first place

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? lmao. most ideas i don’t finish i’m content to leave as they are. however, i have one novelization about my dragon age character going through the events of the trespasser dlc that i desperately want to finish, but i’m such a stickler to the dialogue that exists in-game that i’m hamstringing myself. i like the ideas there enough to revisit it every now and then, so it’s not totally a lost cause, but...it's not looking likely gang.

16. What are your writing strengths? lord knows i know how to set a scene. everything i write is in service of eventually getting to describe sunlight or perhaps weather. know this whenever you read something i wrote.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? i’m desperately bad at just…stepping back and letting a scene breathe. i NEED to explain everything even if it’s obvious. i also am very guilty of describing what happens in prose rather than letting it play out naturally in dialogue. it’s remarkable how much i avoid dialogue without even realizing it

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? eh. it can be used well, but i just speak the one language fluently, so i doubt it’d be a fun or worthwhile bilingual bonus for any reader.

19. First fandom you wrote for? it’s either kingdom hearts or inkheart, and it certainly does not exist anywhere anymore. pour one out

20. Favourite fic you've ever written? my answer changes every time i’m asked this. sticking with the recency bias answer of steadfast and dependable (potc), as i''ve been really into the themes in that fic recently

tagging @johnbly @thesumdancekid and anyone else who might want to snag this <3

#thank you!!! it's nice to talk about writing without berating myself for not doing it #tag game

[suna1suna1]

Another preview of the next chapter of Sweets and Secrets bc I feel like I need to be held accountable otherwise I will go radio silent on it again lmao Spoilers below the cut for anyone who hasn't read the fic yet!

When they reached the animal shelter, Amy was embarrassed to realize she still had the net over her quills from work, and hastily stuffed it in one of her jacket pockets. She wondered why Shadow hadn’t commented on it; it was glaringly obvious. Then, she noticed him smirking out of the corner of her eye, and she leveled a mild glare at him. “You just wanted to see how long it would take me to notice, didn’t you,” she said dryly. 

Shadow chuckled. “Guilty,” he said. “But I wasn’t going to ruin the moment earlier by pointing it out either.” 

Amy continued to glare at him as he opened the door, allowing her to step inside. The moment she walked into the building, the cacophony of animal sounds reached her ears, and she fought the impulse to cover them as she adjusted; it was louder than she had expected. There was a tap on her shoulder, and she turned to find Shadow looking back at her with a concerned expression. “Are you alright?” he asked. 

“Yeah!” Amy said. “It’s just a little loud. I’m fine!” 

“Do you need a moment?” Shadow asked, eyeing her in a way that told her he didn’t quite believe her. 

She gave him what she hoped was a reassuring smile. “Nah, I’m all good,” she said. “So… where to first?” 

Shadow’s gaze moved from her to the front desk several feet in front of them. “First, we need to get us signed up for volunteering.” He walked a little ways ahead of her, looking back to make sure she was following as they walked up to the desk. 

The person behind the counter was much older than the two of them, a capybara with graying hair around his muzzle and rectangular glasses in front of kind, twinkling eyes. He smiled at them. “Hey there, Shadow,” he said, his voice the rumble of an older gentleman. “Good to see you again.” The capybara’s gaze turned to Amy, and his smile shifted to a knowing one. “I think I’ve heard about you. Is your name Rose?”

Amy’s face reddened, and she looked over to find Shadow’s cheeks had also turned a little pink. She giggled softly. “Yes, that’s my last name,” she said. “I’m Amy Rose. It’s nice to meet you.” 

“Bernard,” he said. “And it’s nice meetin’ you as well. Are y’all both here to adopt?”

Shadow sighed. “Sorry, Bernard,” he said, and the capybara’s face fell just a little. “We came to volunteer for a little while. My friend here expressed some interest, and so I brought her along with me.”

[shiny-jr]

Nah don’t apologize, I should’ve explained better 🖤 And it’s cool that you can’t write the first part, main reason why I requested Kalim and Deuce is cuz I never really see yandere works for them? And I like how you write so yeah lol. And tbh they wouldn’t even hurt a fly.

But since you won’t do the first one, can I tell you my thoughts?

I do kinda see Kalim as a more…manipulative yandere? Like Kalim is a greedy person, used to getting what he wants and the lavish and just living in the clouds. He knows he’s cute and comes off innocent so idk, I feel like he would use it to his advantage but not consciously? He’s not actively trying to manipulate you, but hey if his puppy eyes and begging work, then who is he to complain? Does that make sense 🤔 when making that request I had a picture in my head of reader with solid gold handcuffs and Kalim just…keeps on adding weights or something to prevent them from trying to leave. The cuffs hurt and readers wrists are sore and peeling, but all he says is sorry and that it hurts him more than it hurts reader…

Deuce was significantly more harder to imagine lol. This thought isn’t as detailed just, maybe his mom hinted at how reader would make a perfect spouse. And we all know how much he wants to please his mom, so maybe he starts pushing that agenda. Getting a bit too touchy-feely and overprotective cuz he doesn’t want anyone taking his mom-approved reader. And then…idk. Maybe his delinquency past shows back up when he notices people too close…? Idk, his really gave me trouble 😭 but I could definitely see him as a delusional yandere.

…can you tell I’m not like a yandere writer? Lmao this is way out of my expertise. These were just what was going on in my head when making the first request of “it hurts me more than you” or something along that line 🤷‍♀️

Lately I've been writing more "softer" yanderes on Tumblr so I'll just clarify that first. Anon, it's a bit contradictory how you say "they wouldn't hurt a fly" then proceed to describe them harming their s/o or another person.

Hm, well, I wouldn't say Kalim is manipulative. I would say he's more... guilty tripy. Of course, without really meaning to or most of the time not even know he's guilt tripping someone. But I have to say, (considering what I wrote at the top) I cannot see the whole handcuff thing, especially to the extent where it's physically hurting the other. Emotional/mental chains can be just as damaging through, without directly being physically harmful. Every time his s/o would consider going somewhere, they immediately think of how Kalim will react without their company, preventing them from going anywhere or doing anything without him. As for Deuce, I'm not sure. I find it kind of strange that his mother's approval would be the beginning of his fixation on his s/o–– or at least the beginning of it becoming visible. I can see his mother's approval possibly increasing or somehow worsening his behavior, but that's about it.

Bro why’s the hospital part of your brand

There’s a whole list of ppl who’ve been in the hospital that are associated with you

Htid Karl, htid Tommy, htid Fundy, htid Quackity (implied), btp Quackity, bm Quackity’s mom, THE AUTHOR THEMSELF

Not to mention the fact that atwg Quackity works in hospice care. And I’m sure I’m missing some

The entirety of the single dads au contains the word hospital 60 times. And three other fics also reference the hospital.

This feels like a manifestation or something /j

Anyways I’m glad your all good and out of the hospital now. But I just. Yeah

LMAO

It must seem like manifesting, huh?

Nah, the truth is that I'm chronically ill, so I've spent a good chunk of my life in and out of emergency rooms, infusion centers, and specialists' offices. They say write what you know, and I'll be damned if I don't know hospitals.

P.S. Please don’t feel bad/awkward/guilty about sending this ask. It genuinely made me laugh. I've got a pretty good sense of humor about my chronic illness (and hopefully in general), so it's really not a sensitive subject for me

random ocs i wanna talk about

 OHHOHOHGHGH. I have too many stories. and damn i wanna talk about them. So i will talk about some of the ocs i rly love/like that ive made (and also about some universes) I’m going to only include my “main three” in this post but i may tlak more about other stories i was a part of/created

(RT Intervals: the ‘main’ universe I’m workin on. the story’s gonna be really downbeat. it centers on 3 people with varying problems and maybe the problems never get fully solved but character development is slow and perhaps underwhemling but YAY!  Time to talk about some of my fav. characters (ones ive actually devleopeed so far //sob)

-c!Blue- NOOOO BLUE BELOVED :( they are so nice (well they try to be) and m gonna serve em a world shattering deconstruction of thiere beliefs yay! they try to be nice but may end up patronizing instead but shes trying so much to be helpful :( shes so soft (kinda). 

c! “Scarf”- Hello, person that kinda holds moral superiority but also doesnt at the same time! they are tired but they cant describe how, and damn i love them sm they just lay there and want to do something but decides that nothing they do is 100% benefcial so they decide its better to watch from sidelines but they actually have a backbone.

-c!Mangie : are they evil? nah. maybe? Are they here to help? maybe. Do they feel guilty for anything????? MAYBE. they convinced themselves that they are litteraly the most shit person ever and does not actually wholeheartedly accept that cause if they did they’d break down lmao.  theyre still a jackass though and a lot of the things are do are not good. at all.

All three of the above litterally try to avoid thinking too hard about they actions cause if they did they’d shatter into a milion pieces 

=c!Nocide: so tell me, what is nuetraility? what is a sign of nuetraility? A time of piece? Apathy? A lack of action? Unification? a lack of fighting? Nothingness? Well, they don’t fucking know either! local eltrich abomination also takes random pegasus as thier middle school project ohohohoh

=c!Dark: in a way, he’s fight or flight. An emboiment of fear and violence-- but not destruction. Also, another local eltrich ambomination takes a cyborg as thier “project” just to spite other eltridiich ambomination. also fun fact! my pfp is actually a drawing of them i rly liked ;) heheh

-- - -

ORIGINAL RT COMIC: this story is based off a comic i did on paper a long time ago when I was younger. the characters like like..beta/other verisons of my main story. not fully completed ever, but this comic took on a more comedic tone with everything unlike RT Intervals where a majority of the cast’s actions would hold some sort of implications, though the comic would eventually shift to a darker-ish more serious tone in some moments

-c!Mangie(Original): Wears an identical jacket to c!Blue(original), except the fur lining is scuffed. they do shitty things but by the lines of sitcom logic and are 10% less of a jerk than RTI!Mangie. basically comedic sociopathy.  //but they actually still do care about some people like c!blue//. 

c!Blue(original): is currently trying to strangle c!mangie for the amount of property damage they’ve done. Wow, a version of Blue that actually has a backbone and morals. They still hang out with C!mangie though, so how moral they are is really debateable but its more like they stick around to act as damage control and cause DAMN THEY ARE BESTIES (HOW THO????) theyre a lot more reliable, but a lot less “pragmatic” than c!mangie.

c!Draconoir: I really couldn’t think of a better name for this guy. LMAO but hes a weird-ass dragon/pony hybrid with a SAADDDD past but for once that has no effect on whatever his plans are for today. Current chief of police for where c!mangie and c!blue lives. has plans for c!blue and c!mangie...

more charatcers but they’re kinda eh.

----

RP DM/RPD: A rp I was apart of, back in 2019-2020ish. It had some good times. Some times bad. I still curse the man who deleted the character storage becasue i now no longer have a timeline of events, summares nor analyses of ANY of the characters... It orginally was meant to be chill but thanks to me and another person it devolved into chaos. the story is finished, and was meant to have an...”alternate” season that would help explain any loose ends left inthe oringal but ah...thinkgs feel apart. for the better,to be honest. I will attempt to describe each major character the best I can, which is hard because accounts have since become deleted and people have played more than one character at a time. There will be some mild spoilers, concerning charcter development and identities but ill try and keep them to a minimum.

c!Ikari/Mangie (Me): chaotic reality bender that is genuinely delusional (in-universe) but in meta terms, they are techinally right. //they have this vauge belief that there is a “narrator” that dictates events that happen, and that the “narrator” has chosen to go against them whenever shit goes down. In universe, they’re wrong-- everything is truly of thier own will and of everyone’s own will but meta-wise...yea. They bend reality using cartoon logic (things like jump cuts, pulling things from “offscreen”, entering a cabinet to end up tumbling out of another house’s cabinent , etc). they believe a “perfect” world does not exist and if it did, it is thier responsibility to ruin that world. they have a book that is about to revive people and are implied to have formed a pact with demons.

C!Cart : a gangster hunted by multiple gangs, often gets high on weed and is ironically the most sane of the group. He has an affinity for weed, and is often dragged into a bigger picture by association, if hes not under hiding from eneimes. He’s not so above it all though, and due to his time as criminal (and from his time being associated with the other charatcers) he takes many things in stride, and is nonchalant about most things. ...too nonchalant sometimes.

C!Jade: Cart’s love intrest that serves as a mediator for whatever insane situation is going on. Due to her association with cart, she comes under fire from cart’s enemies as well. she takes a lot of what happens very hard (and like. is terrified of normally terrifying things.)

c!Asuka: A girl that has problems, and is...c!nate/c!eleven’s love intrest. she is a skilled sword-fighter and has like anime powers or something. faces problem with trying to find peace but also being haunted by something that causes her to destroy.

c!nate/eleven (this is one of the harder people to describe) : Nate and eleven were brothers, but eventually nate ended dying. both of them were superheros and had a very black/white mentaility which always made them the good guys. they oftentimes put either themselves or asuka on a priority list for what they want. 

=god i want to include some world-building tidbits and lore but this post is already so long

- - - If you have any questions about any of my worlds/characters ask me cause damn. i like sharing details.

Chicago Fire Season 11 Episode 1

Stellaride

Oh wow they’re really enjoying their honeymoon.

Nah see that shit would freak me out. Noises then the handle moving? I’m out.

They got dressed fast af.

GIRL RUN!!

How the hell you fall Stella?

Wife sorcery 😂

Ah shit. Stella and Boden disagreeing.

Uh excuse you sir. You don’t yell at Severide.

I don’t like this Carver guy Boden, I’m not a fan.

Who’s Commander Pearce?

Okay so I’m not a fan of Pearce.

Boden, no amount of good deeds can make up for his attitude and prejudice. You can’t change Stella’s mind.

Yeah I’m with Stella (and Gallo). I don’t like his attitude.

Boden. It was her first call with him. She already has feelings about the way he acts. Maybe she felt like she couldn’t trust him in a dangerous situation like that yet. Maybe she needs a smaller scale emergency first to see what he can do.

Man. Chill out. I know you pissed but so was Severide. The person who allowed them to be attacked was roaming free just cause he had information. Of course he was pissed and wanted that guy in prison.

Brett

So did she and Casey break up?

LMAO Yeah they absolutely have to now.

Kyle’s back. Don’t know how I feel about this.

Oh yeah she does have that program

Oh he’s engaged.

Brett are you drunk? You’re drunk.

Oh shit she broke up with him.

Mouch

LMAO DAMN MOUCH! IN FRONT OF HIS FACE LIKE THAT?

Violet

Damn Hawkins. You not looking so hot.

Personally, I wouldn’t have told her. I feel like it would make her feel guilty.

Oh fuck Violet you really screwed this man. He asking if you were really there.

Emergencies

GIVE HIM SOME MILK 😂 I don’t know why that popped in my head.

Yeah the DJ is an idiot.

Miscellaneous

Who’s this guy?

Wait Mason’s gone?

Saw someone name drop you in that tea account and I'm so glad you clarified! That anon was so wrong for accusing you stuff they are guilty of. They're just bitter they got blocked. Saw other people sharing their experience with that anon, who btw is not anon anymore. Others shared who this person is and I blocked them too. I hope they'll stop being rude to other writers. Hugs and kithes to you ❣️

right?? like okay, you wanna call out authors. but don’t make up shit just so you look like the victim lmao 💀💀 i’m a v straightforward person so when i saw that i was like nah. don’t twist things.

yeah !! it’s sad to know im not the only one who had a bad experience with them. & i did good blocking them then lmao. thank you for the hugs & kithes 🥺🤍

#luckily i had the receipts #squishies

[crescentcitrus]

it’s so whatever and stuff but like i’m not going to lie to myself and act like it doesn’t affect me still. like i try and go “haha im over it im so over it. im so normal about it.” but like girl you know very well that it will haunt you for the next five years at Least. maybe once im out of high school and i never see them in the halls again. i feel guilty again all of a sudden uggghhrhdhhfjfhdh. three years! gone! three years that i’d convinced myself would end up being the rest of my life. god knows i don’t want that anymore LOL but i can still mourn a friendship nonetheless. but i only mourn the friendship parts. anything further and fhfjdjdjdj nah.

but i miss their house and their movies and their food and their music:( whatever IM OVER IT!! (lying. i listen to music and get sad bc of memories with them, i eat food and get sad bc of them, i smell someone who uses the same damn laundry detergent and im sad bc of them. not over it at all.) BUT ILL PRETEND LIKE I AM BECAUSE OTHERWISE IM A LOOOSERRER. they’re over me so i have to be over them too. and im acting like that’s not how i treated Everything in our relationship, and therefore an awful awful mindset to have.

but i still get the tense-chested irritation and resentment every time i see or think about them. and now whenever im angry about something else, when i try to analyze Why im angry, my default answer is “Them.” even tho its probably Not, im just used to that being the answer lol. whatever i need to stop letting my emotions be controlled by them without them even knowing it. lame as hell lmao .

i’m normal about it.

#fucking losercore i wish i could erase them from my brain #they don’t deserve to take up my brain space anymore teebeeache. #the tenseness i get from Remembwring the horrors of last year makes me so angry and when im upset i sometimes accidentally hurt people #not a fan!! #nobody likes a tense tierney #though this is nowhere near the actual cause of my tension the past week. god knows it’s far from it #ripping my hair out nonetheless

[sungbeam]

So when I woke up, my cheeks were sore and I looked in the mirror and was like, “where tf are my dimples?” (Of course I was like 4 or 5 so there was no cursing involved) My mom literally did not believe me at first until she realized that they were fr not there. I don’t have to smile for my dimples to appear so it was real obvious that they were gone. I got over it but my mom still gives my brother the stink every time she thinks about lmao 😭😭😭. We found out it was my bro bc he was snickering in the corner, and when we asked he admitted to it.

My brother would’ve gotten his ass beat if he’d hit me hard enough to knock out a tooth omg 😭. We wrestled a lot but he never hit me. He’d pull my hair or bite me or some shit. Was it like a baby tooth? Or did you have to get it replaced? Or is there just a missing tooth?

Literally Changmin and Jungwon are so cute help!!! You’d think that I wouldn’t be that impressed by dimples but omg how can I not!? Every time I find out an idol that I like has dimples I’m ready to get on one knee and propose 😩😩. All the idols I could list with dimples… (also dimples aren’t just cheeks. I have them literally everywhere. So if you have an out of the ordinary divot on your face or body, you probably have dimples.)

(Pls tell me if I’m talking about myself too much, I have a vanity problem 😭!)

~Eliza✨

omg wow so u have pretty pronounced dimples then 😭 i think ik quite a few irls who have decently pronounced dimples, but i don't remember if any of them showed when not like smiling or sumn akfbkenf

HELP THATS SUCH BROTHER BEHAVIOR THO 😭😭😭 nah cuz my brother and i also were kind if rough w each other too 🤧 it's just one of those sibling dynamics ig 😃 but luckily it was just a baby tooth so he was technically doing me a favor !!!

no cuz i agree w u FULLSEND 😭😭😭 the dimpled boyos are SOOO near and dear to my heart like i wanna SMOOCH THEM MWAH ohhh for real??? :0 i think i vaguely heard something abt dimples on other parts of ur body, but that's cool to know !!

omg pls don't worry abt it 😭😭 learning abt other people is fun !! and i think we're all a little guilty of wanting to talk abt ourselves 😋🤸‍♀️

#sungbeam strikes again #eliza !!
