Second entry for this ask from @scottxloganan Send me a number and two characters - get a five sentence drabble.
44 - Two Roads
"There's two ways this can go, two roads, if you like," Scott said calmly, gesturing over the map of the Shimmer they'd brought along, that had turned out to be as useful as a pre WWI drawing of Europe but along with the sun position, would at least take them to the source of this phenomenon they'd come here to explore ... if that goal hadn't been off the table the second they'd first entered and lost all memory of their first three days in or so.
"I don't fucking like, no," Logan growled, grabbing his lover by the arm before he could pass him by with an exasperated shake of his head. Determined to lead on a mission lost from the start in his goddamn sense of duty and stubbornness, regardless of the cost especially for his own damn vulnerable, mortal body. "We've lost two soldiers since we got here. We're running into some abomination of nature that tries to kill us every turn of the way. I can feel my fucking insides moving from what this thing is trying to do to us next, and I don't need to cut you open to know you're going through the same. And you don't have a fucking healing factor to put you back together. So no, we're not going in deeper. We're getting the fuck out of here."
"We knew we probably wouldn't be making it back when we go in," Scott reminded him softly, making no attempt to free himself from his grasp. He didn't need to because when he reached up to pull his VISOR from his eyes, not only was there no sign off the deadly blasts in his pupils that had limited his life ever since he'd been 12 years old, but whatever color they might once have had, had turned to an eerie yellow. "We'd be the first team to make that. This has never been about us. This is about this fucking thing having grown three times its size since it first appeared. If we don't stop it or at least try to find out more about it, it will have reached Westchester in 3 months top, depending on how long we've been here by now without realizing time passing by. I'm not sitting around, waiting for our pupils to turn into some genetic monstrosity or be eaten by some alligator with six mouths next. So you can either come with my by the river to the Shimmer's source or you can try to make it back out by yourself. Chances are, neither of us is gonna make it on their own though. So, South or East?"
Logan lowered his hand in defeat and pulled his lover close for a desperate, angry kiss, tasting copper and chlorophyll.
It didn't make a difference, probably indeed hadn't since they'd entered. But maybe - just maybe -, if they did make it to the source ... Maybe there was some way to stop this whole thing. Giving up had never been an option in Logan's life; some pretty light show in the air refracting the essence of everything it touched wouldn't change that. When they shouldered their bags and left the wrecked safe house and another corpse from their team behind, he started to cough blood and wouldn't be able to stop for an hour.

No, really please list canon divergences. 1) I don't want to heck them up not knowing about it. 2) There have been too many people who say 'canon divergent' with no further context and use that to just do whatever they want which usually means being kind of crappy and very ooc, instead of creating fun and relevant tangents. Please give more reason to trust u. /playful threat
Tumblr media
Look. You are 10000% correct. And it's why I have mostly put bullet-point divergences on all my muse pages with like, major points of divergence where it counts/matters (or at least, as of the end of V7 bc I took a long as heck hiatus and need to actually make myself figure it out for post V7 stuff).
But you see. This requires putting things down on paper. Like, where other people can see. And idk man, that seems real scary I'm just saying.

[Four Cards, Four Masks, Four Timelines threaded together and apart:]
-The Fool, and a mask of blue-black metal, with chiseled-looking slits for mouth and eyes, rounded yet graced by blocky design-notes... a thread of isolation yet belonging, of emptiness yet fullness, the paradox of the Fool incarnate, the beginning and end in one.
-The Emperor, and a mask of Gold, tinged with silver yet plain in its rugged simplicity, adorned not with floral finery but with twin tusks of both abundance and threat... a thread of power and command, of protection and weaving together several fates into one, a rise to the challenge in order to change the very stars above.
-The Tower, and a mask of cold, silvery-blue metal, angular in a way that resembles scales, tears, lightning and frost all at once, with no mouth and only eyes to bear witness... a thread of loss, shame, rage, regret, and a fundamental shift, a sifting through the ashes of what could have been, a rest and respite to re-examine what meaning is left in a seemingly empty existence.
-The Hanged Man, and a mask of wood and leather, seemingly a simple imitation of the blue-black mask before it, made of cruder materials, and yet its lightness and warmth seem to counterpoint that more basic nature... a thread of duplicity and duality, of normal and unnatural, of humility and pride, of night and day, of nurture and violence, held in an intricate dance and immaculate balance... though for how long remains uncertain.

CARRD TEMPLATE #04: TRANQUILITY / demo / $4 USD
although i’m not going back to ukitake I really, really wanted to just make a simpler, more minimalistic theme that was focused on little focal images to decorate the carrd. because of it’s more simple nature it’s a bit lower priced than the other carrds I’ve made.
HOW TO’S   /   INFO
—     please do not remove the credit from the bottom. same case for please do not resell or redistribute it. —     comes with a rules tab, about tab (with a navigation tab to jump to portions), mains/affiliates/exclusives tab and a verse tab! feel free to edit colours and what info / elements you need … or don’t need! this is single muse centric. —     all the images will need replacement; the way it’s set up, some images are set as the container backgrounds, images selected will place themselves in the left corner of the container. —     there will be some mild transition jitter when going from a tab without a scrollbar to one with a scrollbar and vice-versa just due to how the carrd is set up. —     most of the images are set to a certain height to fit the content, so they will crop. depending on if you add more info, you may have to adjust image heights manually.
if you’ve read all the rules and know you have a compatible pro plan (if you’d like to upgrade, you can use my referral code ASURAIDART), you can buy the premium template here!

bite me
pairing: jeonghan x reader wordcount: 6.1k summary: no relationship is all sunshine and roses, of course, but you and jeonghan are both unpleasantly surprised at how easy it is to second guess things and slip into your old ways. it doesn’t help that nobody at work can seem to mind their own goddamn business! genre/themes: angst, fluff, smut, mostly plot, they fight and they’re both petty, wee bit of smut/makeup sex. dad!cheol, dad!dk, college friend!joshua, jeonghan w/ kids. part of the ‘we get along infamously’-verse
A/N: i have a feeling y’all are not gonna like this as much as parts 1 & 2, BUT I already wrote it LOL. but i do love seeing our main characters progress through their relationship!
also thank you @wavelikewhat​ for your input because that first draft was TRASH GARBAGE :|
Tumblr media
    You swallowed as you walked into the office, hand clasped in Jeonghan’s. There was no reason to be so nervous, you tried to reason with yourself. You had filed the paperwork with HR and everything had been processed, so legally you were in the clear. Facing the inevitable prying, teasing, and snooping, however, was a different story altogether. You had spent a lot of time curating your dislike for Jeonghan in the office and it felt…embarrassing to admit that it had largely been a ruse.
“Ready?” Jeonghan squeezed your hand with an encouraging smile.
“No,” you grimaced at him, “But yes. It has to happen sometime.”
    Jeonghan laughed, pulling you in for a soft kiss on the head before letting you lead the way. Surprisingly, you didn’t run into anyone on the way up, so you let yourself lean into your boyfriend as you rode the elevator. You had to admit, it was nice to be able to be close in this way.
“Quiet today,” you remarked, walking towards your work area. Usually you had seen at least one person that you knew by now.
“Seems so,” Jeonghan shrugged. “I wonder if-”
“Congratulations!” a few voices rang out as you rounded the final corner to your cubicles.
“Ya, when were you going to tell me?!” Seungkwan’s voice cut through the well wishes as you saw his beet red face pop out above a cubicle divider.
“Congratulations?” Boram asked, their face clearly showing that they were out of the loop.
“YN and Jeonghan are dating!” Miseon filled them in quickly, letting out an excited giggle.
“Oh? OH!!” Boram stood up straight, clasping their hands against their chest as they gasped loudly. “My mom and dad have reconciled! It’s a Parent Trap miracle!”
Jeonghan glanced at you, holding back a smile. Everyone else was so shocked by Boram’s comments that many just turned back to their work. Seungkwan, however, was incorrigible.
“I’m not kidding, why didn’t you tell me?!” he demanded, approaching you with his index finger outstretched like a scolding teacher.
“Because I figured it would be like this!” you whisper-shouted back at him.
“We’re doing lunch today, I’m putting it in your calendar,” Seungkwan decided before storming off.
“I guess I’m busy for lunch today,” you chuckled to Jeonghan before moving towards your desk.
“Talk to you later,” he smiled, hooking his pinky into yours and squeezing before leaving for his own desk.
“I don’t even know where I want to start with questions, so just spill!” Seungkwan insisted before taking a sip of his lemonade.
“There’s not much to spill,” you grimaced, “We started hooking up a few months ago…and we never stopped.”
“Okay but hooking up is hooking up. Filing your 0526-15 is another thing altogether! I thought you hated him!”
“I did,” you chuckled, “But he’s actually kind of sweet.”
    Seungkwan clearly didn’t believe you, but the server came so he wasn’t able to say anything more for now.
“So help me understand one more time, how are you two even compatible? You’re so…you. And he is so HIM!”
“Those are meaningless statements,” you chuckled, even though you kind of understood where he was coming from. “I mean, I agree that on paper it doesn’t make the most sense, but it feels like an ‘opposites attract’ kind of situation.”
“I don’t know,” Seungkwan narrowed one eye at you, clearly skeptical. “He’s so conniving and argumentative. And selfish! Decidedly not boyfriend material!”
    You pursed your lips, considering his words. It wasn’t like Seungkwan was wrong. In fact a lot of these descriptors of Jeonghan were ones that you had used yourself, enthusiastically, in the past. You wondered if you had really reached a new understanding with your former nemesis or if it was, in fact, just due to the dopamine and whatnot that Minghao had mentioned before.
“I trust your judgment, I suppose. It’s just odd to see you two together after all of your endless bickering and fighting,” Seungkwan said reluctantly.
“I get that,” you nodded, “If things go south, you can beat him up for me. How does that sound?”
“Acceptable,” Seungkwan nodded firmly, reaching his hand out to seal the deal.
“How was lunch with Mr. Boo?” Jeonghan asked as you rode the subway together.
“Very interesting,” you laughed sarcastically, “Apparently you’re all sorts of wrong for me,” you couldn’t help but tease.
“Oh?” Jeonghan raised a brow. He played it cool, but he couldn’t deny the string of worry that drew tight in his chest.
“Yeah, apparently you’re ‘conniving and untrustworthy and decidedly not boyfriend material’,” you quoted Seungkwan with a laugh. He really did have a natural talent for melodramatics. You turned to the LED display, watching as the stops flashed by, so you completely missed the crinkle that flashed across Jeonghan’s brow.
    Jeonghan pulled on a quick smile when you looked back at him, but the cluster of worries did not leave his mind. He could easily count, on one hand, the total number of serious relationships he had been in and the bulk of those had been during his college years. To say he was out of practice at being a boyfriend, and a good one at that, was probably a major understatement.
“Any thoughts about dinner?” you interrupted his thoughts as the subway drew closer to Jeonghan’s apartment. “If you haven’t done any shopping since I was last at your place, then the fridge is probably still pretty sparse.”
“I…have not,” Jeonghan admitted.
“Shall we stop somewhere for food on the way home? Japanese? Chicken katsu curry sounds good, for some reason.”
“Mm,” Jeonghan shook his head, “I kind of just want to head home. Maybe let’s grab something at the convenience store and just cook?”
“Okay!” you shrugged before stepping out of the subway car and heading above ground. You instinctively reached for Jeonghan’s hand, but he was already several steps ahead of you, mind seemingly elsewhere. Furrowing your brows, you tried to shake it off and moved quickly to catch up.
“I think I have everything at home for kimchi jjigae except pork and tofu,” Jeonghan thought aloud as his fingers reached for a block of firm tofu.
“Rice? Should I grab some instant?” you asked, eager to eat sooner rather than later.
“Yeah, whatever’s fastest,” he nodded.
“Of course!” you nodded.
“Okay, let’s go, I’m so hungry!” Jeonghan said excitedly, grabbing your hand and leading you into a light jog. You groaned internally, but you were also hungry so you matched his pace.
“Jeonghan, I’m surprised,” Director Bae said, suddenly. “In the past, if a process performer had missed a deadline like this, I’d probably be talking you down from demanding their termination. You seem rather…calm about the whole thing.”
“Yes, well,” Jeonghan furrowed his brow. It was true that Miseon had come in slightly late on her deadline, but after discussing with you, you had made the very good point that her tasks were not on the critical path and it wouldn’t push back the overall timeline.
“You’re not losing your edge, are you? I know dating can make the mind soft and jumbled. Especially considering who you’re dating,” he looked at Jeonghan pointedly. Director Bae didn’t have to complete his thought out loud because everyone in the office knew he considered you to be on the soft side, when it came to management style.
“How do you mean?” Jeonghan asked, temper flaring.
“I was quite surprised when I was informed that you and YN had filed a 0526-16. You’re so different from each other,” the director continued cluelessly, “You remind me so much of my younger self. I hope you don’t let this relationship dull your ambition.”
    Jeonghan fumed. Surely this thrice divorced man was not trying to give him relationship advice? Jeonghan managed to keep a lid on his temper until he reached the elevator, but only barely. After a few frustrated, but restrained, punches to the elevator keypad he was forced to wait through the consequent, unplanned stops at different levels. By the time he was back on his floor his anger had quieted significantly, but the slight pinch in his brows was still noticeable to you.
[yn]: ‘you ok? did the 1:1 go poorly?’
[jeonghan]: ‘he felt i was being too lenient with miseon…among other things’
[yn]: ‘??’
[jeonghan]: ‘i’ll share later’
    Pursing your lips, you wondered what had happened with Director Bae that could’ve upset Jeonghan like this. He was the golden boy, after all, so it was very rare for Bae to give Jeonghan negative feedback of any kind. And as you had discussed with Jeonghan, Miseon’s missed deadline was not on the critical path, so there wasn’t any need to overreact just for the sake of overreacting.
“So what happened during your 1:1 with Bae?” you asked after you had both taken your seats in the cafeteria.
“Well, he was surprised that I wasn’t more upset about Miseon missing her deadline,” he reiterated before taking a bite of his lunch.
“But it’s not on the critical path,” you mumbled through a mouthful of rice. You were starting to feel like a parrot with how many times you’d repeated those exact words over the last three days.
“Yes, of course! But then he implied that I was going soft…,” Jeonghan waffled, not sure whether he wanted to share this specific piece of the conversation, “Because of you.”
“Me?” your eyes widened slightly.
“He said ‘relationships make your brain soft and mushy’, or something like that,” Jeonghan rolled his eyes, his temper threatening to flare up again as he recalled his director’s baseless implication.
“He’s worried that because I’m not an asshole, I’m going to turn you into less of an asshole?” you laughed, trying to play it off by rolling your eyes, “Also considering how many times that man has been married unsuccessfully, I don’t know how much I’d listen to him.”
“I know,” Jeonghan nodded, but was clearly still dwelling on the conversation.
“I think you’re fine, Hannie,” you tried to encourage him, “Bae has a short attention span. Plus you’re his work son, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
    Jeonghan nodded. He wasn’t actually worried about any fallout at work. Work son was an accurate description of how Director Bae thought of him and Jeonghan knew he could probably genuinely get away with murder before his director ever did anything about it. No, the thing that was eating at him was hearing again and again that he wasn’t a good fit for you. He didn’t think they were right, but he was starting to wonder if the others could see something that he couldn’t.
    You watched as Jeonghan thought intently. You didn’t think this comment from Director Bae was anything to get that worked up over, but you also had quite a different relationship with your director. You had established long ago that you didn’t care for or want to play the office politics game and were quite happy to let your work speak for itself. Jeonghan had always been different in this regard and you worried about how much he might take Bae’s comment to heart.
“It’s probably not a good thing if your girlfriend calls you an asshole, right?” Jeonghan suddenly blurted out in the middle of beers with his college roommate.
“What?!” Joshua’s neck almost snapped at the force with which he turned to look at Jeonghan.
“I mean, she wasn’t calling me an asshole, but she implied that my management style is asshole-ish,” Jeonghan rushed to clarify.
“Oh. Well…she’s right, isn’t she?” Joshua laughed out loud. He had worked with Jeonghan on enough group projects in college to recall that asshole was probably actually a little kind. “No offense to you, my evil twin, but you are kind of difficult to work with in a professional setting. You’re very particular and have a tendency to overreact when things don’t go according to your impossibly detailed plans.”
“Do you think I should be with someone more like myself?” Jeonghan asked.
“Hard to say,” Joshua answered thoughtfully, “There are benefits to both being with someone like you and being with someone who complements you, so who’s to say? Plus, you haven’t let any of us meet her yet, so I don’t really know how you two are together. Which, I need to ask, are we so horrible that you don’t want her to meet any of us?”
“No, I just…wasn’t sure if we were quite there yet.”
“Knowing you, you probably are,” Joshua rolled his eyes, “Bring her to Nari’s birthday party! Most, if not all, of the gang is going to be there!”
“Oh, that’s a good idea,” Jeonghan mused, “Yeah I’ll invite her.”
“I’m full of good ideas, you should listen to me more often,” Joshua raised his brows at Jeonghan with a self-satisfied grin.
“Wait, what?” you furrowed your brows at Jeonghan, wondering if you’d misheard him.
“I can’t go, I told you I have basketball league this Friday,” he repeated himself.
“You can’t skip…your recreational basketball league? For a concert? It’s my favorite group!”
“I mean, I could, but…I don’t want to,” Jeonghan finished weakly. He knew he sounded like a jerk, but they were playing the team that he had the most beef with and he had been looking forward to taking them down a peg all week.
“I-,” you opened your mouth just to close it again. “Okay,” you finally spoke again after a few moments of tense silence.
    Jeonghan rubbed his eyes, knowing that it wasn’t actually okay but not knowing what exactly he could do about it. He wasn’t going to miss this week’s game.
“I know this is a bad time to ask, but are you free in 2 weeks? My friends are having a birthday party for their daughter and they want to meet you.”
    Your lips creased together. His friends wanted to meet you. Not Jeonghan wanted you to meet his friends.
“I might be busy, I’ll have to check,” you replied curtly. You knew you were being petty, but you couldn’t help yourself. To take second place to a fully optional basketball game, of all things! Maybe Seungkwan was right, maybe Jeonghan was too self centered.
“No Jeonghan?” Seungkwan asked when you met him outside of the concert venue, alone.
“No, he’s busy,” you sniffed as you pulled up the ticket barcodes on your phone.
“Doing what?”
“Basketball league,” you rolled your eyes, offering your phone to the bouncer to scan.
“Basketball league?!” Seungkwan half-shrieked. “Is that a good reason to not go to this concert with you? Isn’t this your favorite group?”
“You and I agree, apparently,” you laughed at your friend, happy that you weren’t alone on your side of the issue. “I told him all that, but he said he didn’t want to skip his game.”
“Tch! I told you, he’s selfish!” Seungkwan shook a finger at you as you approached the bar. You shrugged as you squeezed yourself between two people to order drinks. Today you were inclined to agree.
“Hel-lo,” the man to your left gave you an obvious once over as you hailed the bartender’s attention.
“Ew. What?” you asked, patience thinner than usual for all men, let alone strange men.
“I’d love to buy you a drink,” he suggested smoothly.
“And why is that?” you decided to entertain him for a moment or two.
“Cause you look great in that dress and I’d love to see more.”
“Oh my god, ew! No,” you turned away from him curtly, a mildly horrified look on your face. You were grateful that your beer and Seungkwan’s cocktail arrived shortly after and you were able to scuttle away from this man and his giant chain necklace.
“Now there’s a man,” Seungkwan whistled appreciatively as you returned.
“That guy?!” you were surprised to see him looking back in the direction you came from. “Ew, he’s so cheesy!”
“He’s hot though,” Seungkwan shrugged.
“Aren’t you happily dating Seyoon?”
“I still have eyes,” he insisted stubbornly.
“Hey YN?” Jeonghan leaned in his office chair towards you, hoping for some quick feedback. “YN?” he tried again when you didn’t respond the first time.
“What?” you answered, but didn’t turn to face him.
“Do you have five minutes to help me review something?”
“Yes,” you replied, taking a few seconds to finish up what you had been working on. “What is it?” you turned to him, your expression concerning placid.
“Ah, um, can you proofread this problem statement for me?”
    Pointedly avoiding his eye contact, you rolled over to read the text on his computer screen. You wondered why he had asked you, problem statements were almost canned. Couldn’t he do this himself?
“Looks fine,” you almost rolled your eyes at him before returning to your desk.
    Jeonghan sighed inwardly as you returned to your desk. Your cold shoulder was painfully reminiscent of the way your relationship had been in the past. While he knew that no relationship was all sunshine and roses, he was surprised to be back on the receiving end of such intensely prickly and dismissive behavior over something he felt was relatively minor.
[jeonghan]: ‘do you want to have dinner together today?’
[yn]: ‘can’t. have plans.’
    Boram and Miseon exchanged looks. It had been a tense day in the office for their little team. You and Jeonghan were doing your best not to impact interactions with the rest of the teams, but even a person without eyes or ears could tell that you were fighting.
[boram]: ‘mom & dad are fighting :(’
[miseon]: ‘i still think it’s weird that you call them that. but agree :( 0/10. don’t recommend’
“How’s things?” Minghao asked good naturedly during your dinner.
“Not so good, I think,” you answered after giving it some thought.
“No?”
“Jeonghan and I are fighting,” you stated simply.
“Oh, really?” Minghao raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“I feel like he’s being selfish and I’m not sure we’re actually good together,” you mused, chewing on an artichoke heart.
“Now what makes you say that?” Minghao asked sharply. Now he really felt like you were being irrational.
“I asked him to come to a concert with me last weekend and he said no because he couldn’t miss his basketball league.” you rolled your eyes. “Everyone at work keeps saying we’re not a match anyways, maybe they’re right.”
“Who?” Minghao’s eye twitched. Despite all of your disagreements and incompatibilities, you and Jeonghan had harbored a mutual interest and respect for each other since before Jeonghan had even been hired.
“Seungkwan. Bae,” you shrugged, seemingly nonchalant. “I guess Bae told him that he thinks being with me will dull his ambition because I’m not enough of a cutthroat. Maybe things were easier when we were just hooking up.”
    Minghao thought about this for a moment. It was true that Jeonghan had ambition in his career, with goals to become team leader within the next couple of years, but at the same time everyone knew that Director Bae was a bit of a goof with a tendency to speak without thinking at times.
“Are you thinking all of this because you think it’d be easier to go back to hooking up?”
“Maybe,” you grimaced at him, still moody. “It would be easier in some regards.”
    Minghao tried to form his next sentences carefully. He knew that pushing too hard would have the opposite of the desired effect, but was also concerned that your natural tendency for holding grudges posed a very real possibility of ending the relationship prematurely.
“Do you want to stop dating him now, then? That is an option,” he probed.
    You thought for a long moment before shaking your head and admitting, “No.”
“Is this continued silent treatment productive, then?”
“No,” you repeated yourself. You felt like a scolded child because that’s exactly what you were. Yet you knew that Minghao wasn’t wrong and it was time to communicate like an adult. “This is all your fault to begin with!” you narrowed your eyes at your friend. All that dopamine nonsense.
    Before you could change your mind, you pulled your phone to let Jeonghan know that you would attend Nari’s birthday party. Immediately afterwards, you had to let Seungkwan know you were rescheduling, which was infinitely more unpleasant.
“I’m nervous to meet your friends!” you hopped in place to release some of your pent up energy as you waited for someone to open the front door.
“Why?” Jeonghan asked.
“I don’t know,” you shrugged. You did know. Even though you had moved your plans with Seungkwan to be able to attend Nari’s birthday party, things were still slightly tense with Jeonghan. You wanted to put on a good face and make a good impression, but you knew you had one of the worst poker faces out there and it would likely be obvious that you were fighting.
“It’ll be fine,” Jeonghan shrugged. His hands were in his pockets, so he couldn’t give you the encouraging squeeze that he wanted to. He still wasn’t even sure whether you’d tolerate hand holding at all.
“Uncle Hannie!” a delighted squeal accompanied the fast moving blur that hurtled at you through the now open door.
“Nari!” Jeonghan managed to catch her, swinging her around with delight.
“Uncle Hannie, I missed you!” the young girl looked at Jeonghan seriously.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Jeonghan apologized furiously as he carried her into the house.
“Are you my Auntie YN?” Nari peeked over Jeonghan’s shoulder at you suddenly.
“A-ah, well,” Jeonghan stuttered, unsure how to answer .
“Yes!” you cut him off swiftly, squatting to match Nari’s eye level. “Nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you,” she nodded expediently before asking to be let down.
“Help, she’s so cute,” you grabbed Jeonghan’s shoulder as Nari ran to rejoin the herd of children.
“Very,” he agreed before moving to greet the group of adults. “Friends!”
“Jeonghan!” several men stood up to greet him and you excitedly.
“You must be YN!” a tall man with a dazzling smile shook your hand vigorously. “I’m Seokmin. Welcome to our home and thank you so much for coming! We’re so excited to meet you.”
“Ah, so you’re Nari’s dad!”
“Guilty as charged,” he laughed, full and loud. “My beautiful wife, Hana, is here somewhere too.”
“I wasn’t sure whether I believed Jeonghan when he said you were coming,” a second voice chimed in. You looked over to see a broad man with a catlike smile. “I’m Joshua. Glad I was able to bully Jeonghan into letting us finally meet you.”
“Oh?” you chuckled, only slightly bitter. So some people could talk Jeonghan into doing things he didn’t want to do. Noted.
“Don’t listen to him,” Jeonghan scowled before calling to someone else, “Cheol, get over here!”
“Trying!” a sturdy man replied as he tried to free himself from the group of children clamoring for more piggyback rides. “Someone else needs to take a turn!”
    You were surprised when Jeonghan moved, proactively, to take his place and even more surprised at the delighted chorus of ‘Uncle Hannie’s that came from the children’s mouths. Seeing Jeonghan happily giving out piggyback rides was doing something very unexpected to you.
“Hey, I’m Seungcheol. Or Cheol, as they generally call me,” the man made his way over to greet you.
“Nice to meet you,” you smiled, eyes flitting back to Jeonghan every so often.
“He’s great with kids, isn’t he?” Cheol grinned at the way you were watching his friend with his arms crossed over his chest.
“Yeah, I guess I’m kind of surprised?” you had to admit.
“You know him from work, right?”
    You nodded.
“You might already know this, but work Jeonghan and life Jeonghan can be pretty different.” “I am learning that,” you smiled at Seungcheol.
“Did you know that he’s Nari’s godfather?”
“No!” you gasped, a smile lighting across your lips as you recalled her bright greeting from earlier. “It seems like I know nothing about Jeonghan, doesn’t it? I promise, we are actually dating,” you laughed nervously.
“How long have you two been together now?”
“Actually dating? It’s been about three months, I think?”
“Ah, well that makes sense then,” Seungcheol nodded to himself. “Jeonghan is, for lack of a better word, emotionally constipated. And what I mean by that is that it’s unusual for him to talk about things that are serious. And he overthinks a lot.”
“Ah, I see,” you nodded. It was true, you and Jeonghan didn’t have a lot of particularly serious conversations, but up until recently that had been a feature and not a defect.
“We are really glad he brought you! And despite what Josh said, Jeonghan doesn’t actually do anything he doesn’t want to do.”
    You smiled. You liked Seungcheol.
“Miss YN!” a pair of small hands tugged at the hem of your shirt insistently, “Please come with me!”
“Ah? Sure, but first what is your name please?”
“Doyun! That is my dad,” the boy pointed matter of factly at Seungcheol, “And that is my mom!” his finger moved to point at Danbi, Seungcheol’s wife.
    You nodded and gestured for him to lead you. You were pulled towards the pile of children around Jeonghan and before long you were also giving out piggyback rides of your own.
“Miss YN, why are you dating my Uncle Hannie?” Nari asked suddenly. You glanced around and were glad to see that Jeonghan was out of earshot.
“Hmm, that’s a tricky question,” you chuckled, “I suppose we like each other a bit.”
“Why?”
“Hmm. Well, he is very smart. And funny. He can be annoying sometimes, but mostly he’s nice to me and we like doing things together.”
“Hm.” Nari nodded, giving very little indication what she thought of your feedback. “He can be so annoying sometimes, I agree!”
    You laughed at the enthusiasm of her statement before asking her to share exactly what types of things Jeonghan did that irritated her so.
“Cute,” Joshua smiled as he stood with Jeonghan, watching you laugh with Nari.
    Jeonghan nodded. He was relieved that you seemed to be enjoying yourself. It had always felt too early to ask whether you wanted kids or a large family, but today was making him increasingly more curious.
“Does she want kids?” Joshua asked, as if reading his friend’s mind.
“I don’t know, actually. We haven’t discussed.”
“You should probably ask. That’s kind of a big deal for you,” Joshua’s eyebrows raised in surprise.
“We’re having difficulty communicating in general, lately,” Jeonghan finally admitted, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Well. I hope you figure it out soon, because I like her. Maybe even more than I like you,” Joshua couldn’t help but tease.
“YN, I hope you know that we will be leveraging you for babysitting now that we know how great you are with kids!” Seokmin joked after the children eventually lost interest in you and Jeonghan. “I don’t know why Jeonghan has been keeping you hidden from us for so long!”
“Same! Same, us too for babysitting!” Seungcheol’s wife, Danbi chimed in excitedly. “Doyun has never been too keen on Jeonghan, but he really seems to like you!”
    Jeonghan scowled playfully and you had to laugh.
“Uncle Hannie? Can you help me fix my hair?” Nari materialized at Jeonghan’s side. Your chest squeezed as you watched him make quick work of redoing her left braid. Who knew Yoon Jeonghan could be so domestic?
“I have something to say,” you sighed begrudgingly as you slipped off your shoes.
“Me too,” Jeonghan turned to you, “You go first, though.”
“I’m sorry I’ve been ignoring you. I was frustrated that you didn’t want to go to the concert with me and it hurt my feelings. I should’ve talked it out with you sooner.”
“I’m sorry too. I should’ve tried to explain why that game was important to me. I want to do things with you, but I also want to be able to do my things alone at times too.”
“No, I totally agree,” you nodded.
    Jeonghan sighed, a huge wave of relief washing over him when you smiled at him for what felt like the first time in over a week.
“I also have something else to confess,” you admitted, playfully this time, as you tugged at the front of Jeonghan’s shirt.
“What’s that?” he leaned in, the scent of his mint gum teasing your nose.
“I have a big crush on ‘Uncle Hannie’,” you raised your eyebrows playfully at him.
“Oh really?” his left brow quirked up with interest.
“I-...,” you made a face, slightly embarrassed to say what you were thinking, “Seeing you with Nari is like…sexy in a soft way.”
“YN…are you losing your edge?” Jeonghan teased, fingertips digging into your hips just slightly.
“Maybe,” you couldn’t seem to maintain eye contact.
“Or do you have a breeding kink that you never shared with me?” he prodded shamelessly.
“Jeonghan!” you gasped, pushing him instinctively, “How can you say that so casually!”
“I mean…you’re way nastier than this, sometimes,” he couldn’t help but tease. He was relieved that he could still fluster you like this.
“Go away!” you pushed at him, ears turning impossibly redder. Jeonghan held you in place firmly.
“Do you want kids?” Jeonghan inquired gently, leaning in to trail soft kisses along your jawline from your earlobe to your chin. “Eventually,” he clarified.
“...Yes, eventually,” your breath hitched as he nibbled down your neck. “Do you?”
“Yes,” he answered easily. He had always wanted kids.
“Hmm,” you hummed, but it came out more like a desperate whine because Jeonghan had decided to suck gently at the hollow of your throat.
“My god, your sounds,” he groaned appreciatively as he kissed you.
“Ha-Hannie,” you swallowed, tugging him towards the bedroom.
“Uncle Hannie?” he baited you.
“Hnn,” you exhaled shallowly, “So soft. Giving piggyback rides, slicing cake, fixing pigtails,” you mused as you climbed over him.
    Jeonghan’s eyes flashed at you. Realizing that you were so clearly aroused over such domestic things made his heart pound and listening to you say it in that breathy voice while straddling him was undoing him. And quickly.
“Careful, babe, your malewife Jeonghan kink is showing,” he teased, but he didn’t hate it.
    You flashed him a catlike grin, rolling your hips as you unbuttoned his shirt leisurely. He groaned, his erection pressing insistently against you. Your hands stroked across his chest as you pushed his shirt off of his shoulders and you trailed soft kisses down the center of his torso until you arrived at the waistband of his slacks. Your tongue toyed with the corner of your lips as you undid the button and zipper of his fly at a painfully slow pace. Jeonghan hissed at your teasing before you finally pulled him out.
“Ride me,” he requested, not interested in any delay today.
“Now?” you asked, surprised. Jeonghan was not one to turn down a blowjob.
“Up here, now,” he beckoned with two fingers. Who were you to say no? You undressed quickly before climbing over him again.
“So eager?” you grinned, shifting yourself along his length.
“I’m not the only one, it seems,” he remarked, feeling just how wet you were.
    You flushed, but couldn’t deny it, so instead you reached down and slid him between your wet lips. Pressing up on your knees, you worked your hips up and down slowly, only about halfway. Jeonghan tolerated it for a short while before he grew impatient.
“All of it, princess,” he coaxed, placing his left hand around the back of your neck and pulling your gaze to meet his.
    You clenched at the soft firmness of his tone, lowering yourself a little further, but not quite all of the way. Jeonghan’s eyes raked over you one time before he scoffed.
“All the way down,” he repeated himself. It was such a slight edge in his voice, but you picked up on it nonetheless and complied, sinking all the way down his shaft until you were flush against him. “Good girl,” he breathed, his right hand gripping your hip as he ground against you rhythmically.
“Jeonghan!” you gasped, brows knit together as you clutched his shoulders for support. You clenched around him as his pelvis pressed against your clit repeatedly.
“So good, so good,” he panted, lifting your hips up just to pull them back down, stroking into you deeply. “I wish you could see yourself,” he whispered up at you, “Taking me so good. All for me.”
“Yours,” you whined, unreasonably turned on at the possessiveness of his words. “All yours, Hannie,” you nodded, walls spasming around him as he continued to press into you, over and over.
“All mine?” he asked breathlessly, blown out pupils fixed on you.
“All yours,” you reiterated, pressing your forehead against his urgently. “Please, Jeonghan,” you begged, “Need you to cum in me.”
“Fuck,” he hissed, lips curled up into a half snarl, “My girl is so desperate for my cum?”
“Hannie, yes, please!” you plead desperately with him, “Nee-, need to feel you cum inside of me. God, I’m so close.”
    Jeonghan groaned, hands gripping bruisingly at your hips, but it only served to egg you on. Your desperate sounds mingled with his and in the spur of the moment, Jeonghan bit down on your collarbone, the sharp sensation triggering your and his subsequent orgasms.
“Wow,” you blinked, gathering yourself as you both came to your senses.
    Jeonghan pulled you tight against him as he nodded in agreement. His thoughts were a jumble after the day. Seeing how you fit in with his long time friends and their kids had cemented the fact that he did see himself with you for the long term. After your earlier words, he thought maybe you felt the same way, but he wanted to be sure.
“Do you see us together for a while?” he murmured softly against the top of your head.
“Hm?” your eyes widened at the sudden change in mood. “I…yeah, I do,” you answered honestly. “Do you?”
“Yes,” he replied almost before you even finished asking. “I really like who I am with you. You make me more patient and kinder. Everyone at work kept saying we’re not a match, so I just wanted to make sure that you like who you are with me too.”
    Tears pricked at your eyes. You were speechless at his confession.
“Is that why you’ve been distant?” you asked as the new information started to fill in the gaps.
“Oh, I guess so?” he pursed his lips, “But you were being difficult too!”
“I know,” you sank under the covers slightly, ashamed of your own behavior. “I’m not very good at apologizing. I had to have a sidebar with Minghao and everything.”
“Oh? And what advice did he give?” Jeonghan found himself wondering. Minghao was still something of an enigma to him.
“He told me I could break up with you if I wanted,” you smiled at him bemusedly, “Because he knew I didn’t want to. And then told me to be an adult about it.”
“That…sounds about right,” Jeonghan chuckled. It didn’t really help clear anything up at all about where Minghao stood on him.
“He is a Jeonghan stan,” you laughed. “He really is on your team.”
“Equally likely that he hated me more than Seungkwan does,” Jeonghan joked, a sense of relief washing over him.
“Apparently you’ve been obsessed with me since before you even got hired,” you couldn’t help but poke fun at him. “‘If possible, could I review a copy of the current internal solve?’’” you quoted the email that Minghao had shared with you.
“I’m pretty sure it’s a violation of HR policy to share that with you,” Jeonghan glanced away, blushing.
“I was curious about you then, too, if you must know.”
Jeonghan gave you a confused look so you explained.
“After your interview, Bae would not shut up about how you solved my problem with less code. I asked Minghao to get me a copy of your solution because I needed to know how.”
Jeonghan’s expression changed to look at you in a way that knocked the air from your lungs.
“You know, l think I love you?” he blurted out suddenly.
“I might love you too, Jeonghan,” you grinned before snuggling back into him.
“Wait, so what did you think of my solution?” he couldn’t help but ask.
“Acceptable, but not nearly as good as mine,” you answered honestly. A laugh escaped Jeonghan’s lips. He had to agree.

Theory: (Possibly) The real reason Spider-people glitch in different dimensions
This a VERY loose theory i originally wrote at 2:00 AM so feel free to correct me or add your own thoughts (also, the most convincing evidence for this theory is at the bottom of this post because I had to edit it, sorry)
It's been shown that one of the main problems with traveling between universes in the spider-verse is glitching and it's been said that the glitching is because of their atoms 'not agreeing' with being in a different universe, even in a universe that's so similar to their own, but i think i may know why the glitching is ACTUALLY happening? Just a interesting theory so it might be wrong but i HAD to share my thoughts.
To put it simply: (i think) the glitching is caused by the WAY that one arrives to another universe. Basically, from what i've seen, the inter-dimensional travel watch creates an unsafe passage to a different universe which causes the glitching due to the gateway being so unstable.
Now this may seem very far fetched but also consider that when doctor strange inter-dimensional travels in multiverse of madness the gateway opened was clean and wasn't glitching, with that HE didn't glitch at all either, what I think happened is the actual powers used (similar to the spot) helped adapt their DNA to the universe so it didn't freak out. So it might have something to do with more so 'natural' abilites rather than the tech that was used in ATSV.
The same thing is shown with the spot, HIS abilities are the thing that allows him to travel to different universes which prevents glitching.
Additionally, notice how in ITSV when the spider people (gwen, peter b. Etc) were being taken from their universe and thrown into earth 1610 the wormhole that brought them there had no surrounding barriers as if they were just floating through the spider verse. In ATSV when the portal is created by the watch there is a surrounding barrier tube thing creating a safER (not necessarily Safe but certainly safer) passage way leading to the specific universe they choose to go to, but these wormhole only let's them travel it doesn't make their DNA adapt better. And as i said doctor strange's ability to create gateways to other universes was more natural and not created by using technology, also safer which is likely the reason he didn't glitch is because the powers are compatible or something, where technology is not.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, something else to add to this is that the more unsafe the passage is, the more glitching there is when the portal is opened. Example is when peter b. Is sucked out of his apartment and the entire apartment is glitching heavily, vs the inter-dimensional travel watch's portal, and of course the spot's holes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even more to add, notice how the non-technological way of getting to another universe is much quicker, rather than going through a tunnel to another universe, instead it's a step away. Shown especially with how the spot can easily put his head through one of his holes and immediately be in another dimension. Same thing goes with the doctor strange method as seen in the video of him traveling through different universes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'd even say that if one of the spider-people were to go through the spot's holes to a different dimension than they might not glitch.
As i said this a very loose theory so there might be some holes in it, so i don't mind if y'all correct me.
TLDR: the watch used in atsv creates an unstable gateway to other dimensions which causes glitching, unlike 'natural' (by natural i mean non-technological powers or something similar that's compatible with one's body) powers like the spot who is never seen glitching like the spider-people and can travel dimensions faster.
edit (because i just realised something that ALMOST confirms this theory): If you still aren't convinced and think that it's only because of their atoms not agreeing with the universe they're in then the most damning evidence to exist for this theory that might change your mind has to be that if it really had something to so with their bodys, DNA, atoms whatever, then why isn't miles glitching constantly even though the spider bite he received THAT CHANGED his DNA was from a different universe? That means he has DNA from earth 42 and earth 1610, but he only glitches in earth 42 and not 1610 even though earth 42 spider WAS glitching in his earth and since he has that DNA he should ALSO be glitching in 1610.
If you were to apply my theory than the answer would be that in ITSV miles never went through any kind of portal that brought him to his earth, so his earth-42 DNA was never affected and likely adapted to the 1610 DNA or something. What makes this theory a bit 'scary' though is that, as I said, if you were to apply my theory that would mean that since the 42 DNA re-adapted when miles arrived in earth 42, and it was the 1610 DNA that was making him glitch, that means that if miles were to go through the inter-dimensional travel watch portal back to his world the earth 42 DNA will make him glitch in HIS OWN universe and the 1610 DNA will make him glitch in prowler miles' universe, so he would constantly be glitching since the 42 DNA couldn't adapt again like it did before since it already re-adapted to earth 42 while miles was there, and the 1610 DNA NEVER adapted to the earth 42 DNA to begin with.
And if you still don't understand than I can put another TLDR:
in ITSV Miles' 42 DNA adapted to 1610 since he never went through any kind of portal to a different universe at the time. His 42 DNA re-adapted to earth 42 at the end of ATSV and his 1610 DNA wigged out there since it could never adapt to earth 42, and could only be in 1610. Meaning (if my theory is true) unless he went through one of the spot's portals to get back home, he would constantly be glitching out because 42 DNA hates 1610, and 1610 DNA hates 42.
Make sense now?
Well, anyways sorry if this confusing you, but it makes so much sense to me and I really wanted to share!

hello my beloved may I ask for any thoughts about Miaya ships??? I love this little robo girl sm u have no idea
I love Miaya SO MUCH 😭 Most underrated girl.
These are my top 4! Though of course, as always, I Would Ship Her With Basically Any Girl. God I Love DR Sapphics
Miaya/Hina. I believe there's a doodle somewhere on here or my main about this, but I hold very fondly the headcanon that Monaca "has not successfully completed a single evil plan yet" Towa left Miaya for dead without confirming the kill, and Hina was part of the group who saved her and helped rehabilitate her after her life threatening injury. Firstly, because the potential of their interactions that we see in fake Miaya are SO cute. And secondly. I Think Aoi Should Have A GF Who Lives. She has earned a happily ever after with a beautiful wife.
MIAYA HAS NO CANON AGE WHICH MEANS I CAN FINALLY SHIP SOMEONE WITH CHISA!! Chisa's boundless enthusiasm and Miaya's enthusiasm when speaking through Usami are super compatible. They would annoy so many teens. They are extremely embarrassing moms.
This will sound a little odd at first brush, but Miu. I personally headcanon Miaya as having cerebral palsy, and knowing that they worked together in Summer Camp-verse to make that version of the Neo World Program, I am really fond of the idea of Miu taking her invention series about lying down and modifying it to make movement easier for Miaya. It adds a really cute angle to Miu's insistence on that series of inventions. And importantly, she'd be doing it so that it'd be possible for her and Miaya to fuck. There's no desexualizing of people with disabilities in Miu's house. If the girl is hot, Miu will find a way.
Chihiro! Intellectuals who canonically worked together on the Neo World Program. Usami is their daughter. Chiaki is also their daughter. Also, the idea of Chihiro introducing Miaya to her friends is a RIOT.

Tagged by the incomparable @dingoat -- thank you! <3
3 ships
Right now, to nobody's surprise, Gale/Devi is eating my soul. On paper, they shouldn't work -- he's an educated, wealthy, powerful mage (who makes very poor life choices), and she's a much-younger-than-him thief who grew up as an urchin on the streets of Baldur's Gate, whose only "acceptable" skill is playing a violin (apparently pickpocketing and stabbing people aren't considered widely acceptable or desirable skills?). But in all the ways that really count, they are compatible -- they're protective of each other and their friends, and Devi's street-smarts balance out Gale's book/arcane knowledge, and her feisty-ness is another counter to his more balanced way of dealing with things (read: he's 90% of her impulse control). I suppose opposites DO attract! ;)
Theron/Xaja has lived in my brain ever since Shadow of Revan dropped, in canon-verse and in at least two AU's. Theron definitely brought out a side of Xaja that isn't necessarily a proper Jedi side to show, but it's definitely her -- she's also feisty, and protective, and she's got a snarky streak to her that sings to Theron's soul. And she loves Theron's devotion to the cause, and his intelligence, and his wit.
(also, looking at Xaja and Devi... apparently I've got a TYPE when it comes to my main characters in RPGs. You should take a look at my canon Warden from DAO sometime, Lynaen... who ALSO is a redheaded dual-wielding rogue with a healthy dose of snark. At least she was raised a Cousland and didn't spend time learning how to pickpocket on the streets like the other two? #roguelifeFTW)
And I gotta talk about Reanden/Mairen too. They started on a bit of a whim when @andveryginger and I decided to throw them together for a couple of one-off kiss prompts, annnnnd now they run a good chunk of our respective brains (Reanden likes to hang out in Ginger's head a lot). Mai (Ginger's) loves Reanden's intelligence, and his dedication to his kids and the Republic, and the compassionate, caring streak he has under his sociopathic facade. And he's got a type for snarky redheaded Corellian Jedi ladies -- the fact that Mai loves his kids like they're her own, and doesn't think less of him for his rare moments of vulnerability, means the galaxy to him.
First Ship
Oh man -- my very first OTP was Faramir/Eowyn from LOTR, ever since I first read the books at the ripe old age of 12 years old, and it's STILL one of my favourite ships. I think, even 20 years ago, I was seeing myself in Eowyn (as a female character, as one who wanted to fight and seek out renown, as one who, as I would discover later on in my own life, had a bucketload of mental health problems to the tune of depression), and wanted my own Faramir (gentle, noble, compassionate, intelligent). So a bit of projection there? ;) The first ship I wrote... well, I'd started a girl-falls-into-Middle-earth fic in high school, and the endgame goal was my OC with Legolas, but looking back on it now, I think my OC may have had more chemistry with Boromir. Either way, that fic has been abandoned for like 15 years -- I ain't bringing it back out to resurrect it. ;)
Last Song
According to Spotify, "Master Of Illusion" by Battle Beast! If/when I come up with a Gale playlist, that song's going on it.
Currently Reading
"Tress of the Emerald Sea" by Brandon Sanderson. I'm not too far into it, but so far I'm enjoying it! (Also, I LOVE Sanderson's writing style, and the little bits of snark he peppers in there. Current favourite line: "... he had a jaw so straight that it made other men question if they were.")
Last Film
In theatres -- "Argylle", which I enjoyed! I wouldn't class it as a "favourite" movie, but it was fun! At home (read: at Chez Boyfriend), it was "RED" -- that's one of my favourites. Bruce Willis and Karl Urban snarking at each other... =D (Karl is also my faceclaim for Reanden, and that movie was a big inspiration!)
Currently Craving
Nothing at the moment! I have my coffee and I have a big-ass Costco-sized muffin that I'm working on before I go for my tattoo appointment. (Also, Part 1 of my tax return came in last week... I could get ALL the groceries, thank God! Part 2 is dropping on Thursday, for all the backpay after the CRA applied the ADHD disability credit to my previous years... I legit cried when I saw that number. I can afford to get my car fixed, AND get this new tattoo, AND a haircut, AND maybe, I don't know, throw something into a retirement fund!)
Tagging, if you wish: @greyias @storyknitter @nayci @elveny @abysskeeper @auroraesmeraldarose

plotting call. i'd love to develop connections for faye a little more, so if you're interested in a demon possessed sleeper agent, hit the ♡ and i will slide into your dms! i'm open to any sort of plots with her (not counting those i won't write under any circumstances). some verses that i have up for her outside of her main fandomless verses are av.atar the last airbender, the gri.shaverse, ge.n v, the mag.nus archives and x-me.n. her main verse is compatible with fandomless horror and crime verses too!

I can't imagine how fucking insane it would be for one to be Astereus' co-pilot in Pacific Rim verse because I imagine the Drifting would be successful if there was compatibility between said co-pilot with at least ALL of the main Starwakers, otherwise Astereus would fuck the other all over.

I NEED ALL MARIAIGGY LORE YOU HAVE RN OR I WILL DIE THIS IS URGENT
YAYYYY OKAY!!!! originally made as pacific rim ocs so we got a little main character -y with them LOL sorry. they were childhood friends who grew up together in developmental years and then got seperated in one of the first kaiju attacks in their area, presuming the other dead after no luck searching. so they grow up a little messed up but in very different ways from losing basically their sibling violently. maria gets really into medical work and alien vs human biology to try to stop this from happening to someone else but ends up getting really mad scientist engrossed into her unsafe experiments. she and tendo have a weird older brother relationship he struggles in this verse but its out of love. iggy goes into black market dealing and ironically enough kaiju biology as well but not for the same reasons LMAOO they end up wih some pretty bad substance use issues but become pretty indisposable to hannibal chau and his little group of freaks. kind of opposite ends of the chart with fucked ppdc scientist with bad morals and good morally but awful work situation dealer. they end up meeting back up similarly to how newt found hannibals place in pacrim and get sooooo freakishly codependent they make m sickly. theyre not really drift compatible anymore due to their Issues but theyre the only ones who fully understand one another. they kind of parallel newmann in a fucked up way like what Couldve happened to those guys if things went a little worse for them and i think its soo interesting

hello hello 🕊 twenty, she/her, here in search of other 18+, adv.lit–novella writers interested in creating a small, tight-knit grp of 4 — 6 people on discord. this ad is targeted towards detailed writers, with an interest in character building, found family/twisted entanglements including friendship/enmity/romance, darker themes, plot development, and arcs. this is for those who may usually write 1x1's, but want to try out grp for a change in what will hopefully be a small, cosy, relaxed group of like-minded peers <3.
ideally, there will be one main rp plot and thread for the 'main characters' overarching storyline. furthermore, side threads where the ocs are on other adventures are all encouraged, as are text threads, side ocs, alt-verses, friendship side-quests, shipping threads, and parallel 1x1 threads (set in the same world). to surmise, there will be one main plot with an adv.lit–novella literacy minimum, but you can all create various threads set in the same world/with the same ocs that may not be as lengthy and for these threads, the literacy can be lit/semi-lit or lower.
this grp is NOT a case of 'i create the plot alone and carry it on my back, and you have no input at all'. the grp will be jointly created, and the plot will be jointly developed from a range of base options that i'll offer, so it will be a shared collaboration at its heart. the base plot options utilise the genres of: dark academia (university setting, mind games) // white-collar crime (casino setting, high stakes) // horror – folie a deux edition (small town setting). other themes will include psychological horror, moral dilemmas, and philosophical explorations.
the ocs' age range will span from 19–25, no younger and no older. brainstorms, headcanons, aesthetics, memes, tiktoks, and pinboards will be welcomed and encouraged ! ghosting is discouraged with hiatuses as an exception to the rule. the gist is if you do not contribute, then you may be replaced. though, after we're settled, activity checks will be lax, and as long as you're active in at least ooc and shorter threads, then you're fine.
final note that if you like this ad, i will be asking for an rp sample of yours, info on what gender you'd like to write as in this rp, what pairings you're open to, and a triggers list. this is to ensure the 'likeminded' aspect of the grp is intact and to ensure we're all compatible in the ways that matter.

CARRD TEMPLATE #02: CYBER SEARCH / demo  /   $6 USD
had a weird itch to make a kinda search page / site carrd theme ... tis a lil specific with the themeing since it’s very cyberpunk / neon / computer themed, but it can be adjusted for personal preference. i do have another premium carrd template i’m thinking of making, just stumped a bit on how to spruce it up.
HOW TO’S   /   INFO
—   please do not remove the credit from the bottom, you’re free to move it around, change the symbol, resize it, but do not remove it. same case for please do not resell or redistribute it. —   comes with a rules tab, about tab (with subcategories), verse tab, and a mains / exclusives tab! feel free to edit colours and what info / elements you need … or don’t need! this is single muse centric. —   there are a number of places with url placeholders, feel free to fill those in or remove them! —   there will be some mild transition jitter when going from a tab without a scrollbar to one with a scrollbar and vice-versa just due to how the carrd is set up. —   the images will be replaced with placeholders once the template is bought; most of the elements are set to a certain height to fit the content, so they will crop.
if you’ve read all the rules and know you have a compatible pro plan (if you’d like to upgrade, you can use my referral code ASURAIDART), you can buy the template here!

RQBB 2023 Writer Sign-Ups Open!
Tumblr media
[ID: Picture of a black banner with the Rusty Quill show logos and a text in white and red that reads Rusty Quill Big Bang 2023]
Writer Sign-Ups are now open for the Rusty Quill Big Bang 2023!
Please read through the information carefully to understand what will be expected of you as a participant.
The sign-up link is at the end of the post under the spoiler cut!
You do not need to have decided what you will be writing at this stage, but please consider whether the fic requirements are compatible with what you have in mind, and be sure that you can commit to contacting us on the below deadlines to share your progress (or withdraw your participation if necessary).
Schedule for 2023 (all deadlines at 23:00 BST / 5pm CDT):
Writer Sign-ups: May 8th - 14th
Check-in 1: June 11th
Full First Draft & Summary Due: July 9th
Artist Sign-ups: July 17th - 23rd
Check-in 2 & Art Draft Deadline: August 20th
Final Fic & Art Due: August 27th
Posting: August 31st - September 15th
Confirmation e-mails for sign-ups will be sent out after sign-ups close; if you have not received a confirmation by May 21, please contact us at [email protected]. We ask that you check your email (including the spam folder!) and reply so we can confirm that your registered email address is correct and you still intend to participate.
Participation Requirements:
You must choose whether to join the Big Bang as an artist or writer. You may not do both.
Writers will require an AO3 account; if you do not have an AO3 account, please request one via AO3’s login page.
If you wish to write M or E rated fics you must be aged over 18.
All participants must read and adhere to the Expected Conduct guidelines (see below).
Minimum Final Word Count: 20,000
Maximum Number of Fics per Writer/s: 1
Maximum Number of Writers per Fic (collaboration): 2
Fic Draft Requirements: At the draft deadline (July 9th), we will require a complete draft of at least 18,000 words. “Complete” means that the fic is written from start to finish with no indispensable scenes missing or left as outlines—think, “If I posted this right now, would I be happy with the story it tells?”
Ideally, you will refine and polish your draft in the remaining time, but it can also be your final draft if you prefer.
Drafts will be handed in via a form that will be sent out to you before the deadline. Drafts should be available in Google docs, or if need be in PDF format.
Summary Requirements: A form for the summary will be sent out to you before the deadline. Summaries should briefly outline the general premise, and include rating, ships, triggers and other warnings, and any other relevant details.
Eligible Fics:
Fics of any rating and with any warnings are permitted, as long as they meet the minimum word count (20,000), are centered around at least one Rusty Quill original podcast (The Magnus Archives, Rusty Quill Gaming, Stellar Firma, Inexplicables, Chapter & Multiverse, Trice Forgotten), and are tagged appropriately.
We encourage authors to take this opportunity to challenge themselves to take on a project that they might not otherwise—though please consider what is realistic in terms of the deadlines as well!
Fics must be stand-alone (requires no knowledge of previous fics to enjoy), complete (resolves all main plotlines within the story, as opposed to being part I of a trilogy, etc.), and previously unposted.
Crossovers are allowed, but the focus should be on the RQ podcast involved. For example: a fusion crossover with the Leverage Team replacing the LOLOMG in the RQG!verse would not be permitted, though the RQG characters in the Leverage!verse would be.
Please be aware that fics with obscure crossovers, common squicks, higher ratings, etc., may be more difficult to match, and thus take a little longer to get snapped up. We will do our best to find you a suitable match, though!
If you have any questions about the suitability of your fic, please contact the mods.
Matching Process:
The artist sign-up will include a list of the anonymised fic summaries. Each artist will select 3 fics which they would be interested in creating for, with additional preferences (favourite show/shows they do not follow, OTPs and NoTPs, Do Not Wants, etc.) indicated in the comment field. Mods will then match writers to artists, taking preferences into account as much as possible.
If fics are oversubscribed or if it is otherwise necessary for matching, they may be removed from the list of eligible fics before the end of artist sign-ups.
If you have an issue with your match, please let the mods know as soon as possible.
Do Not Wants:
In this event, you will have an opportunity to Do Not Want (DNW) the types of content that you do not wish to work on. Similarly, if you’ve had conflicts with certain people in the past and do not want to risk matching to them, you can include this in your sign-up or draft submission, and we will avoid matching you with them (details of these will not be shared beyond the mod team).
The mods will always account for DNWs within reason; however, attempts to manipulate matches via DNWs or otherwise acting in bad faith will result in the rejection of your sign-up or draft. We are also not private detectives, and will thus not be fielding any requests such as “do not match me with anyone who has ever drawn/written XYZ.” Please keep that in mind when considering whether this event is right for you.
Expected Conduct:
By signing up for this event, you agree to do your best to meet the deadlines. If you might need a little more time, please email the mods to explain your situation before the deadline passes. Those who miss deadlines without contacting the mods beforehand may be dropped from the event without further contact.
In order to participate in this event, you must be willing to contact the mods directly in the event that you have a question, concern, or issue with your participation (as in the deadline example above). We are happy to help participants with anything that arises, but cannot accept “telephone”-style communiques on behalf of others.
Be in regular contact with your match—if you’re going to be offline for a significant length of time, let them know. Radio silence from your match in events of this kind can be very concerning. (If you are having trouble getting in touch with your match, please contact us!)
Please take care to credit your artist/writer in your own final post.
Our Discord server has its own list of rules, which are listed within the server. If you decide to join the server, we require you to read and abide by those rules.
Be kind and courteous towards your match and fellow participants. This naturally means that all forms of bigotry and discrimination are prohibited, but even where those are not at play, you are expected to treat others with respect.
We, like Rusty Quill, have an “all headcanons are valid” policy. Harassment or mockery of those with different interpretations will not be tolerated. This does not mean you cannot discuss how you see the characters with others or that your artist/writer should not take it into account at their discretion, but insistence that any one interpretation must be adhered to is not allowed.
If you have concerns that a work or participant may be in violation of the rules, please bring it to the mods directly. Harassment of other participants (including but not limited to callout posts, name-calling, baiting, etc.), either publicly or in the Piles of Nonsense discord server, over their identities, fanworks, or headcanons will result in an instant default.
A full overview of the Guidelines can be found on our Challenge Guidelines page. We also have an FAQ.
The writer sign-up form can be found here.
Thanks for reading, and we look forward to working with you!
