George, meanwhile, hated the Removes as Paul had done twelve months before. It was demeaning to be lumped in with boys a year younger. As he put it with characteristic brevity, "I did one day in Mike McCartney's class and then I thought fuck this and went over the railings."

just got the most insane piece of fanmail what the fuck. why is this child learning local human language from my radio show. in the middle of the fucking ocean. apparently they can’t pick anything else up that isn’t the occasional raven station but like i feel like i have some sort of responsibility to not teach this kid how to say fuck every five seconds.
#text #its probably too late tbh #if the kid is seeing this. get off of tumblr

it’s a common misconception, but humans can actually form symbiotic bonds with any sapient creature, actually! the relationship mostly helps with their social and mental requirements, and if there are enough humans in an area to form a community, they’re actually not at all reliant on forming interspecies symbiotic relationships! doesn’t really happen where i’m from though, i think last i heard there are maybe 6 humans in the area max 😅

hello, i just wanted to say that i enjoyed reading your headcanons for tokrev sm!
not sure if you're accepting requests atm but i wanted to request a headcanon of tr boys reacting to reader suddenly grabbing them to be their fake bf? (if ur not accepting reqs, it's fine 🤍)
𝐁𝐄 𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐘𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃!
Tumblr media
I'm glad you appreciate my tokyo revengers headcanons! <3
I made a few different scenarios for different situations and the boys just get bolder in each one of them
tw: suggestive theme at hanma's part
Tumblr media
there's this creepy guy, who keeps staring at you across the room where everyone is having fun partying, he's clearly making you uncomfortable and you're starting to get tired of it. you choose to get closer to the boy you trust the most and on whom you may have the tiniest crush in this room, grabbing his arm you whisper those few words in his ear: "can you pretend to be my boyfriend please"
𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐍
he archs an eyebrow but doesn't say anything when he notices your body language, he can tell you're uncomfortable
he opens one of his arm and nods his head in your direction, closing it around your shoulders once you're close enough
"are you alright? what's happening?" he quietly asks just up to your ear
you glance at the creepy guy but he's nowhere to be seen, he probably got scared seeing your intimidating 185cm's fake boyfriend
"there was a scary guy but he's gone now, thank you..." you said, reluctantly getting away from his warm body
but you felt his strong arm circling around your waist, bringing you back against him
you flushed under him, looking away from the interrogative looks of the people surrounding you
"we can stay like this a little longer, he might come back and I don't want you to get uncomfortable again."
needless to say you spent the rest of the night under his warm gaze and his strong arms
Tumblr media
𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐘𝐀
"I was hoping you'd come to me, this guy over there is pretty weird." he immediately said, getting in front of you in order to hide you
being his usual self, he kept an eye on that guy since the beginning of the night, frequently checking on you to see if you were still alright
he hands you a drink while smiling at you, trying to make you feel comfortable again
"here baby, hydrate yourself a bit."
you looked up at him with surprise, and he only smiled softly
the pet name slipped out of his lips like honey, it just came out so easily, leaving you speechless
while you're standing there, astonished by what just happened, mitsuya gets closer to your ear, until you can almost feel the plump of his lips against your skin
"you stay here okay? I'll make sure that guy doesn't bother you again."
he lets his arm linger on your own before disappearing into the crowd
he comes back a few minutes later, his peaceful smile still on his lips
"I think I made myself clear, you should enjoy the party now baby."
he kept calling you baby during the rest of the night, and the days after, looks like he was waiting for an excuse to call you like that all the time.
Tumblr media
you got invited to a fancy dinner by old friends, the thing is, they're all bringing their partner while you're single, instead of declining the invitation like you usually do, you decide to ask your closest friend to pretend to be your boyfriend. and yes you might have purposefully ask him because you want to be more than just friends.
𝐁𝐀𝐉𝐈
he would take your request as a job
brushing and tying his hair into a ponytail, showing up at your place earlier to accompany you to the restaurant, all dressed up
he hands you his arm for you to hold while he opens the restaurant's door for you and offers you a seat once you join your table
you're surprised, baji is usually his habitual turbulent and loud self, and you love him knowing really well that he's not the most delicate person on the planet
but tonight he's different, he's acting like a real charming prince
"so, how did you two meet?"
baji and you shared a glance, but before you can talk baji answers in a confident tone
you're speechless hearing him describe how you two met, adding some details to the story that he never said to you before
like saying that the first thing he noticed about you was your pretty eyes, he talks about the cute habit you have to bite your lip when something is on your mind, how he can read you like an open book and how much he's glad to have you in his life
by the end of his speech you're so flustered that you can barely look at him in the eyes
during the rest of the evening he keeps sending smiles to you, sometimes brushing your hand with his fingers while asking if you're okay
by the end of the night he walks you home and pats your head, saying that he had fun
you eventually find the guts to ask him if he meant everything he said about you tonight
"of course I meant everything I said tonight dummy, from the you're beautiful in that outfit to the I fell in love with the sound of your voice." he answers while smiling, showing his pointed teeth.
Tumblr media
oh no! your ex is coming this way! quick, grab your crush's arm and ask him to act like he was your boyfriend! (I'm so sorry for those of you who are exless like me, let's make our imagination work for this one ;-;)
𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐌𝐀
okay I'm sorry but, why you would ask him such a thing 💀
this man is a menace, you know exactly what you're doing by asking him that
you barely finished your sentence that his hands are already on your waist, a wide grin spreading on his face
he immediately noticed the person you wanted to avoid and stare at them right in the eye before gazing back at you
his eyes are playful, and his grin is malicious, does he even know what boyfriend means?
"want to put on a show my love?"
the pet name makes you slightly twitch while you hesitantly nod your head, already knowing what's going to happen deep down in your mind
hanma glances at your ex one last time, making sure they're looking, before taking your chin in his hand to kiss you
the kiss is obscene, vulgar, people around look away with embarrassed face, seeing hanma's tongue sloppily swirling around your own tongue, making you quietly moan
by the end of the kiss your ex is nowhere to be seen, and when hanma pulls away a stream of saliva still connects your lips
your eyes go wide, realizing what you just did in front of everyone
"what? you asked me to act like I was your boyfriend, and if I was your boyfriend this is exactly what I would do."
since that day hanma gives you french kisses whenever he wants, so I guess that makes him your boyfriend now...?
Tumblr media
will do a part two!!
a lovely reminder that reblogs and comments are highly appreciated ♡

Random Idea ig Since I'm so Bored-
So, instead of people trying to like- ship reader with the genshin impact characters, what if, since the Reader is considered the "Divine Creator" and all of that, the characters are Reader's children? Just yk- Reader being dubbed "Parent/Guardian of All Vision Holders & Immortales" or smth like that. I would really love to the dynamic between all the characters and Reader! It's not really often that I find platonic Sagau Reader Genshin impact stuff, so this can really come out interesting in many different ways!
I can also imagine that whenever Reader like- heals a character or smth, ppl would say that it's a "divine blessing" for the Children of the Creator. This can also go well with new weapons, artifacts, etc.
I don't really know how things will turn out once Reader gets isekai-ed into Teyvat, but I do have a feeling that this idea might have the Reader to have a special bond of sorts with each of the characters, something that the Imposter, who sits on the throne made for the Creator and demands the Reader to be killed, does not have.
Whether people will trust their gut feeling from that special bond or not, that really depends on the person, I guess. But I think Reader's got this mostly in the bag, especially if Reader has got high friendship levels with everyone and all that.
Random but can you imagine Reader handing out snacks to the little kids, scolding ppl because they did something very stupid, and just overall actually act like a parent? It would also be hilarious if like- Reader has a friend that's basically their "child" or smth like that (Online child, adopted child, that kind of thing.)or actually does have an adopted child of sorts (though I bet Reader would want to go back to their world first to make sure their adopted child is okay before trying to find a way to have their adopted child also be safe while in Teyvat with them or smth).
Alright, that's all I got for this idea! Thanks for reading; sorry for any grammar mistakes.

Hey Ella. I thought I'd come to you with this because you always give off a kind and sympathetic nature so at the very least I won't be treated like a shitty person for what I want to say.
I'm really struggling with Harry atm and it's actually kinda devastating because I never saw this happening. There is so much around Harry that I vehemently dislike, from the people around him to aspects of his public image and narrative. I was so good at separating all that from Harry himself but lately I've been feeling my bitterness bleeding onto Harry. I've seen this happen so much. People who were originally fans getting annoyed at small things and that growing bigger into bitterness and hate. I don't want to be one of these people.
What is making this worse is that I as a person do not place a high value on things like career and ambition. Not in my own life and not in others. So it's getting hard for me to relate and support Harry in his ambition as to me there are infinitely more important things in life. This wasn't a major factor before because his fame and success wasn't at the level it is now.
I honestly don't know what I'm trying to do with this message. I guess I would just appreciate some perspective if you're willing because I genuinely do not want to start resenting Harry. Honestly just typing this is making me tear up.
hi kind anon, i think you're dealing with a pretty common problem in the fandom these days. it's tough to feel like you don't relate to someone you really always felt comfort with. maybe a first step is to take a breather from the fandom as well as gp/main media talk about harry. no twitter (and i'm not saying this bc i have a weird biased thing against twitter. it's a place where opinions are thrown around like it's something ppl have been begging for, like it's fact, and it's really hard to keep reading opinions and debates without getting influenced), no harry content on instagram, no tiktok. i am not interested in anything others have to say about him, and i actively shield myself from it. i don't watch videos others have made with commentary, i don't read articles, i don't even read discourse on here usually. i think the habit of picking everything apart, of making sure you focus on the negative to properly enjoy the positive, is unhealthy, or at least for me. i know myself enough to not fall into blindness or naivety when it comes to what's wrong with enormous success and the industry. i just don't feel the need to get into it every time harry achieves something.
when it comes to harry's ambition and success, i just know (from what he's shown over the years, but the full extent we never will) how much it means to him. i think it's also a mix of actually wanting to be big for him and getting as high as he can to prove that he can to everyone who told him he couldn't. i don't relate to it either, and i don't think it's cool to have all those riches, but i still cry with harry when he cries of joy at his madison sq garden banner. i'm okay living with that nuance without always debating it. i love his music, i love his artistic vision, i love his lyrics, i love the way he carries himself. i also know i don't know him, that i never will, and that there are things he does and says i don't agree with. i have the exact same thing with some of my lifelong best friends, as they have with me. i'm okay with that. happy, even, of how unique and imperfect we all are
what i do, and what keeps me so in love with harry beyond the noise of the gp and the fandom, is focus on what makes me love him. remember that this is an interest, something that makes you happy, and not your object of study, or your career in politics. enjoy it all for you, enjoy it offline as well. and then, i guess, if that doesn't do the trick, a few steps away from harry and all that surrounds him might be necessary to let go of the bitterness. bc you can also just stop liking something, and that's also okay

Get to Know Me and My Obsession with KISS 🎸
Thanks for the tag @starry-eyed-never-satisfied
1. Who is your favourite member?
Okay. Paul is my first love but sexy Ace is competing with him but god I have to say Paul.
2. Who is your least favourite member?
Everyone saying Mark. I know nothing bout him
3. Best album?
RARO ...I'm assuming studio albums and live albums don't count???
4. Worst album?
I didn't listen to their last two albums and have no intention to do so ATM
5. Favourite song?
THIS IS TOO HARD TO CHOOSE. Guess I gotta say Love Gun Though But I love C'mon and Love Me!
6. Say one nice thing about each member.
Paul- He's the STAR of KISS. I probably wouldn't have gotten into KISS if it weren't for him. Everything I adore and want to be
Gene- I wanna listen to him talk while we share milk and chocolate chip cookies together
Peter- I have a soft spot for him. I think he can be really sweet and cute
Ace- Sexy, trashy, baby girl, sexy girl in hooker boots. Wanna bend over and smack that ass. He and Paul are my bisexual fantasies. BUT SERIOUSLY, The first guitar player that made me go WOW. Never got the hype about lead guitarists before but then I was thinking of 80s rock and 80's rock solos never resonated with me. His solos are iconic, not just shredding/mindless noodling. As someone who never learned how to read music, I think it's amazing he influenced many to learn. I'd love to learn how to play. Not to be in a band but I've always wanted to play a guitar. Also, I'd love to hang out with him. He's funny and bright. I think there's softness to him and I'd like to believe (coming from a fan, of course) that he's a good person. He also reminds me of my ex early 90s era....so I guess I have a soft spot for him
Eric C- I wish I could meet him. If I had to pick one member I could meet it would be him because I know he'd be super sweet
Vinnie- talented songwriter and amazing voice. Gorgeous
Mark- He did his job on Animalize
Bruce- Super sweet. He was the cutie of the group during revenge era ngl. Paul had competition.
Eric S- Seems really funny. got a nice tight body. seems every KISS drummer has a nice bod.
Tommy- Loyal and hard working. I can see why KISS kept him. Honestly he'd the kind of guy you want in your group.
7. What do you dislike about each member?
Gene- Condescending. I can see he has some views on things that I'd butt heads with him on
Paul- Overly critical of others, may come across cold. He scares me. y'all see his posts for new years???? He can come across very hurtful in his choice of words
Peter- Bitter (in the past it seems) and tbh some of the shit I read and heard that unfortunately was allowed to slide (sometimes even passed off as "funny" stories). It's a sensitive topic for me.
Ace- like Peter, awful things said and done that cannot be solely blamed on addiction which I'm very glad he recovered from btw. I'm honestly glad I never put this man on a pedestal and it's not just because "he's human like the rest of us". lol I love him but I'm glad I've been exposed to the bad early on this obsession so I don't have any unrealistic ideas about ppl, you know? I think I need to sleep with him to sort out these feelings lol
Eric C- I don't know that much to comment and feels almost unfair because he was taken away from us much too soon
Vinnie- stop scamming people omg. the insanity and charging ppl for memberships and you haven't released shit???
Mark- don't know about him. can't comment
Bruce- Maybe too nice for his own good.
Eric S- I don't know. Should have created a sex tape with Gene
Tommy- Kinda weird seeing him try to mimic Ace's facial expressions. One thing to imitate solos and his space persona but his mannerisms? I dunno just weird to see someone mimic what Ace's face naturally does? Kissy pouty lips only work for Ace
8. How did you get into KISS?
years ago, just bombarded with their imagery and sound on TV shows
9. Have you been to a concert?
Their last show. Crushing, I know
10. Do you have any merch?
I have a shirt
11. Unique thing you have related to KISS?
None, sadly. Like I have nothing solid if that's what you mean. anything that may have in common? sure but feels too personal to share here
12. Who is/are your favourite lineup?
This is hard because early 90s KISS was TIGHT. but I'll always love the original 4, but sweet Foxy and Brucie is so precious
13. What's your favourite era?
FUCCKKK....see this is hard. I have a big soft spot for Dynasty/Unmasked but I also love DTK and HTH
14. What are your opinions on Tommy and Eric?
They did their job. If they hadn't stepped in I wouldn't have seen KISS final show and for that I am grateful. I enjoyed their participation.
15. A question you would ask the band if you could?
I'd ask if I could suck their dick. That's tough. What haven't they've been asked before? Honestly I got some questions for Ace that's been bugging me and I know I'd never get them answered unless I knew him personally and had a real heart-to-heart conversion. I dunno I can only go off from a fan's perspective about how that'll go
16. What other bands/artists are you into?
Led Zeppelin, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, Stromae, used to really like Adam Ant, The Sweet, OLP, Franz Ferdinand, Daft Punk. I listen to all kinds of genres and artists so I like what I like
17. Do you have a KISSona?
Don't have one. I'm assuming like a fursona? lol
18. Who are some of your favourite blogs?
@ladyshandioftheendless @elrohare @silverstarfoxx (thank you for tolerating all my pestering! never hesitate to reach out to me for more Ace goodies!) @notpaulsguitar @ohblackdiamond (though tbh I swear you have answered this lol) @space-frehley-22 @spacefoxy (resident eric carr connoisseur) @speckster (you have crazy ass edits) and same goes for @bangbangyou love your funny memes. the IP address as a response always gets me lol @starry-eyed-never-satisfied (you already did this but adding you here anyway fellow Paulie enjoyer!) There's many more I wish I could just mass tag KISS blogs lol. There are blogs that are no longer active but I am glad they are still around
19. If you could spend a day with one member who would it be?
Hard because I love Paul but he scares me. I think I'd need more than a day to get comfortable with him. I'd love to spend a day with Eric C or Bruce because they seem the nicest. Maybe I'd love to hang with Peter now. Gene, may be fun. He's a good talker. Though it be fun to get one-on-one time with Ace. I'd love a tour of all his tech and then we can compare and just geek out on technology.
20. How would you explain the band to someone who isn't familiar with KISS?
I don't know. Honestly the other people who answered this already gave greats explanations. So many pass judgment on them without giving them a chance. They're a one-of-a-kind experience. There will never be a band like them.

Irl stuff
So what's been going on... I'll put it under the cut since it might be triggering for some. It's about hospital, surgery, breakup/divorce and all that comes with it.
Let's start with the surgery and the hospital. It all went very well! The removed the uterus without any problem. I noticed the lack of cramp pain right away. It was such a good relief! In the hospital things got on so well I didn't need to say 2 nights but just the 1! But here on... the other stuff started. While in the hospital I got a lot of texts of friends, family and coworkers. All saying good luck, get well soon and love you and stuff like that. But my (ex)partner only said: hope you sleep well, I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow. That was it. No call to check in, no love you, nope... just a see you in two days. I texted back that I was okay to come home earlier and he said... oh. While being home he took a week off to help me get along.... well sorta. The mood was gone and even made our son sick. I really tried to always be positive and support, but after a week and a half (on Friday) and our son looking at the clock every hour, it was enough. I asked him to go. He did and he was gone for the whole weekend. I was upset, the little one was upset but we made it through the weekend. What pissed me off was a text saying if the little one felt a need to see or talk to him and if so that he didn't know what to say. Then Monday I got a text in the group of his family... Saying things were over that we talked about it and he wasn't confused or anything else, saying some might think he picked the easy way out now that I was recovering... This was all without me knowing, without talking about it or consent sent to not only his family, but also to my mom, stepdad, dad, stepmom, sisters, brother, aunts and uncles, friends.... everyone. On a Monday at 2pm in a school vacation week... So everyone called me up to find out what was going on while the little one was sitting next to me. This was for me the final straw. No matter what he did now, it won't be able to fix that moment. More happened now. And before more happened too. I don't want to get into it all. But yeah... it was and is a lot. Now I have to move out with the little one but can't right away since the housing market is just too awful. I'm lucky that he will have to pay me a lot to move out but still. Until June the situations is this: The little one stays in the house always and my ex and I move every week. I got the uneven weeks in the house with the little one and then the even weeks I live at my mom's place. I have however recovered fully from the surgery and am able to get return to work 100% as of upcoming week. I just have to change my hours. I used to do late/night shifts. Now I'll have to do early shifts in the uneven week. I also won't be taking my pc or any other stuff with me to my parents place so I won't be able to be online half of the time, but that's the least of my problems atm. I just... have to adjust my whole life. Just that:p But hey I'll be okay, even better We (the little one and me) will be okay. I have a plan just need to see if it will work out. If it does I'll be living in a very full house in June but more on that later. Sorry for the long post and thanks to anyone who reads it. I'm always open to talk more about it but not in a online for everyone to see post. Kusjes en Liefde Kisses and Love -Daisy

This isn't really a question but. We've been really struggling as a system lately - it's mainly just me and my host atm and it seems like others are there. We're trying to figure it out. Anyways. You help us not feel so alone. My host really struggles, especially believing that I'm real. She really really tries. But it's so hard existing and knowing you exist and then having someone basically convince themselves that they must have made up your existence (even though you're fighting for it) just because it doesn't fit some sort of ridiculous tiny box that exists somewhere online. I save your posts (and I've luckily found others too, close by to your acc) and I show her and it helps us both so much. We haven't been diagnosed with DID or OSDD. But my host is so scared of not being believed that she/we're plural, no matter what place it could have come from that she's scared of even reaching out for help, because of how much we read online. We are trying to understand ourselves. A lot of the community is really scary and hateful and it's hard to know where is safe to reach out. I just wanted to send a message of gratitude to you. You're making a difference, even in the people who don't say anything. You feel like a safe space. Thank you so much. 💓
Thank you for this message ^^ I’m glad our blog has helped you💙
We started this blog because we wanted to help those who where in the same position as we had been. Being plural of any origin can be a scary life change, and I hope your guys host gets to feeling better about it. -Unknown
Normally only one of us adds our feelings and stuff, but I used to be in the same position as your host. I was in this deep denial which spiraled into self destructive behavior. What I would recommend is trying to remind your host that she’s ok. It’s nothing to fear, it will affect how her and everyone’s life plays out, but that’s okay. Life is not over the moment you’re plural, and she will be okay.

heey vic! :D
i just started following u & i just wanna say how much i adore your series 'just like animals' & 'last of her house no more' .. they're phenomenally written and so addictive to read ! ♡
i was just wondering if you'd like to check out some of my writing concepts? …(totally ok if u don’t)—i saw u reblogged the first one that i posted on this new blog (my old blog got shadow banned) ..</3
..but anyways, i'm also thinking about starting to write longer oneshots & not just concepts... i was just wondering if u had any advice? i wrote a few oneshot imagines on my old blog, but idk.…..it's just really hard for me to commit to writing something longer atm, y'know? anyways, i love ur whole blog & your writing & i’m gonna go reread 'just like animals' & wait patiently for the next part ! ♡
best wishes, xoxo.
heeelllloooo my little love
your words made me so soft and blushy, ily. and the concepts i reblogged earlier i ADORED ! like those modern!aemond w an innocent!reader ones? art. absolutely beautiful. loved it. i look forward to seeing and reading what else you give us <3
as for any advice? okay so this is what helps me a lot in staying productive and motivated (aka my writing routine when i tackle my prompts):
whenever i receive requests or think up new fic ideas of my own, i instantly write them down in my goodnotes notebook. from there, i tweak and outline, trying to figure out what i like and don't like. i think of titles, scenes, dialogue, all that jazz. and perhaps this is so silly, but i use my college essay strategy (introduction, body, and conclusion) CAUSE THAT HELPS SO MUCH! trust me on this, it makes it a shit ton easier. sometimes i start on the body and other times the introduction- whatever feels easiest for me. also, whenever you're working on a larger fic, at times, i find it best to write the part(s) where you have the most ideas and energy, and then gradually branch out.
throw out a rough draft, like a really ugly and shitty base. leave it alone for a day and then work on polishing it. it is much better to approach your writing with a fresh and clearer mind. and if you're feeling less committed to it, move on to something new and come back to it later on!
there is absolutely no use in forcing yourself to do something you don't want to do. nope. not at all. it just ruins everything.
for when i start to lose motivation (or begin to feel that stupid writer's block), i usually pull up a book to read. for my aemond fics, i'll typically reread fire and blood or one of the books in the asoiaf series. i don't know why but reading grrm's writing style fills me with a sudden rush of motivation and encouragement to write for this sexy one-eyed pathetic meow-meow bastard.
(okay well that and i'll go back to all my previous fics and reread y'all's comments, cause receiving comments from y'all is the best fucking fuel EVER.)
my love, my best advice is to find your own writing style. your own groove. as cliche as this sounds, writing is a form of art, and every artist has their own way of creating such. it is what makes us unique. play around, read some books, listen to music, talk to your mutuals (@chainsawsangel is my muse. love you bestie. everyone say thank you cause she constantly motivates my ass to write), and practice until it feels natural to you. think of your followers kicking up their feet in the air while reading your work. how excited they will be when they see you posted something new. "YAY, SHE POSTED!!!"
and if you ever need to bounce around ideas or plan how you wanna write a certain fic, don't feel shy- message me! i'd be happy to talk and help you out. this goes out to everyone.
i love y'all.

are there any other historical figures you like I'm intrigued 👀
Okay buckle in, somehow this post will be weirder than any of my f1 stuff bcs for some reason I'm very intense about historical figures, I think I just have a tendency to treat them like blorbos
Mostly I'm endeared to powerful figures, idk why, it's the way it is. Okay so obviously you already know I like Napoleon(and Wellington to an extent), that really doesn't need to be emphasized anymore
Since being in Austria, I feel super endeared to Maria Theresa. She just seemed like such a boss! I think she's just really cool. Her father changed the plan of succession so she'd become Empress(rather than her cousins), but immediately upon taking power, she was immediately embroiled in war over her being the new ruler(everyone who had signed the treaty of succession suddeny reversed) But she defended her rule of the Habsburg monarchy! I think the coolest part about her is that her husband, who married into the Habsburgs, was supposed to be in charge, but she wouldn't let him be involved at all practically and was the de facto ruler of the Holy Roman Empire for like 20 years. She had 16 children and was basically constantly pregnant and having kids while involved in war, yet still held power and guided Austro-Hungary through it all 🥹 I think it's very funny also that she was laying out so many reforms, guiding the country basically just herself, and still found time to write letters to all their kids and be an overbearing mother. Also she was Marie Antoinette's mother?? I'm still shocked by how many important kids she had. If you've been to any part of the former Austro-Hungarian(+ Bohemian) Empire, she really left her mark, there's soooo much stuff named after her. The statue of her in between the Kunsthistorisches and the Natural History Museum in Vienna is really cool, and that she has a whole Platz named after her with her giant statue!!! I think it's just really admirable that a woman at that period of time had so much power and ruled so efficiently. (MY god sorry I wrote so much)
Okay now I'll try to refrain from the historical rambles, I also like: Julius Caeser(cliche sorry I know), Dmitri Shostakovich(my favorite composer ever), Pyotr Tchaikovsky(pls read about his sugar mommy patron), Erwin Rommel(I like his nickname: The Desert Fox), J.C. Leyendecker(favorite artist, I am obsessed with his work), Alphonse Mucha, Calvin Coolidge(not the best president by far but the anecdotes about his social awkwardness and quietness are hilarious to me), Ernst Gideon von Laudon(not completely insane about him, but it's like with the Napoleon Crossing the Alps painting, I saw a painting and bust of him and now feel weirdly endeared.) And then there's probably some others I can't recall atm because it's 3 am
I think my top three though are Napoleon, Julius Caesar and Maria Theresa. They're all just very: "Catie saw a painting/statue and is now very weird about it." And then being in the vicinity of so much history made it 1000x worse. Things I saw in Vienna that made me go "oh my god it's blorbo from my history book": Napoleon Crossing The Alps painting(I seriously sat in that room for probably 20 mins just staring at it, I didn't want to leave) + some other various Napoleon artifacts in the Heeresgesichtliche, a very nice bust of Julius Caesar, and literally the entirety of Vienna had Maria Theresa everywhere
#i said before but i do think its funny to have historical blorbos bcs it makes people go 'what is wrong with you'#all my friends on that trip soon learned my napoleon obsession once we stepped in that museum....#you guys are learning too much about my psyche between this and the OC posts#you thought I was unhinged only about F1? dont worry. it gets worse.#i just like reading and then holding info i guess so i can go on random rants#and history is the best to read about!!#mostly though im incapable of being normal about anything i have to be unhinged about it#but gahhhhhh im having actually a lot a lot of fun with all the napoleon stuff lately#thank you guys for encouraging me <3#for some reason that era imprinted on my brain and its always there and i cant escape#so being able to use it and indulge in it is so much fun#also i found this random person's blog and they are way more knowledgeable abt Napoleon than me#i was having so much fun reading through their blog and learning!!!!#anyways yes here pls take my rambling this one is especially bad#why did you have to ask 😭 you dont know what you unleashed in me 😭😭😭#* gotta add#the napoleon thing is sooooooo bad#like ill see a tiny ref to him and ill get all 😍 about it#like i think one time in Russian we were reading names of historical figures in cyrillic#and i saw napoleon and i like had such a 'gasping maiden' moment#WHY AM I LIKE THIS WHY DID MY BRAIN DO THIS TO ME#i dont get it either so dont question it JDKFLGLG#i mentioned but someone asked me 'so why do you like napoleon so much' and im just ?????? i dont choose what i brainrot over.#catie.asks.#catie.rambling.txt#sorry its late and i feel deranged#no FPs for me! too busy and too tired

Good morning!
Tumblr media
I'm back, from the dead. Yes, this is sunshinebanjos, author of After Lifetimes without you who dramatically exited a few weeks ago. So. A little of what I think will be an FAQ
1) What happened?
Honestly, I don't know if you guys saw any of the posts I was forced to make. So. Quick summary.
My husband and I's marriage... Wasn't going great. I started an emotional affair with my best friend Sitch, who I met through the fic. Was this wrong? Yes. And I know that and so does he so... Don't like. Harrass him.
When my husband found out he deleted everything, or rather he made me delete everything. The fic, the discord, my socials. All of it. I spent half a week trying to forget all of it, and I thought I could but... I realized. This wouldn't solve my marriage. There were a lot of problems there from before.
At the end of the week, I left. I wanted my best friend back. And... All my other friends too.
Last night, we officially ended things.
2) So now what?
The server has been recreated and built upon by @caffeinatedreese I owe him a lot. The fic was recovered by various readers and posted there. Thankfully, I have also managed to recover my Google docs.
The server is as wonderful as I left it. I missed all of you. Truly. You have made this week bearable.
3) Okay, but what about the fic?
It IS posted on the server. And... When I start writing again I will post it again on Ao3. When will that day be? I don't know. I hope soon. I just... Need to feel safer about it.
And I'm going to write again soon. I might be posting on discord first for a little while. Just to get back in the swing of things and then on Ao3.
4) Okay, but im not on the discord and I want to read!
Great! Send me a dm and I'll get you a link. We're still staying very hush hush atm. What happend a few weeks ago was... Scary. And I feel really bad it went down that way.
5) Yeah, but ARE YOU OKAY?
I'm... Okay. I mean.. I'm relieved. I feel safe finally. I'm scared more of what's next. Which I think is healthy. I've learned how to stand up for myself this week, and I've been reflecting a lot. I was never in physical danger. Emotional? Mental? Yeah. But... Like I said. I have good friends.
Any more questions. Ask me. Annnnd I'm back! I'm happy to be. I missed you all.
And btw. This is okay to reblog. I want everyone to know I'm okay.

Housekeeping update: Thanks to everyone that reached out. I deeply appreciate it. Sorry for scaring people! I liked to use this acct as a vent space occasionally. I didn't think my posts reached that many people (especially under a cut), but seeing that as too worrisome, I'll keep those thoughts super private from now on. (Usually I'm pretty private, but I should know better than to air out frustrations/personal problems publicly!) Sorry, again, for alarming folks!! 🙏 T-T Was in a bad headspace and wasn't thinking about others in the moment.
I'm still on a break. Busy with irl stuff at the moment. Everything happened all at once along with the busy work season.
In regards to fandom:
Before, I felt a tiny bit ignored by the communities I was part of, but since then, I've made peace with that considering everything going on in my life atm! I think I felt a little lonely with my moots not really engaging with my stuff or reading it, but I realized even if I'm feeling a type of way, it's all gravy! I had to constantly remind myself why I wrote the fic in the first place and that it was for me. And I'll admit, that thought became taxing on me. For months, I felt a ton of guilt over feeling lonely and would try to ignore it and didn't want to talk about it for fear of whining. Since then, I've re-examined and have a clearer lens. :]
I'll be honest: although the harassment does not get to me, with one bad mental health night, it was one of the straws that broke the camel's back. Anons naming authors in my inbox saying how "so-and-so is so much better" or "you can't write anything gothic" is a huge turn-off. Getting compared to my friends left me feeling meh. I immediately deleted those messages and blocked the anons, but it kept going for a little while. I kept silent because I didn't want to give it attention. With a culmination of things going on (IRL stuff and otherwise), it was just better for me to private my fics until my head cleared.
That being said, I've received a ton of love from both communities and I appreciate every single comment and kudos. Thank you.
I'll get back to it eventually.
I haven't checked discord messages yet. I'll check it out once I have more free time. Right now, I don't have the bandwidth for much, but I'm doing okay. Until next time.

River's Thoughts after reading Lodestar again:
Wow did this book rip your brain out and stab it
also i highkey had a mini breakdown in the middle of this book, took a break and read a comfort book, and then went back to reading it today. So like. Yeah, progress?
Literally this has been the most sophitz up to this point and do you know what? Keefe is still a better love interest. I could write an essay on how Shannon is making us want Sokeefe unconsciously. Everything she does, every good moment we get with Fitz, it is always overshadowed with a love for Keefe. Shannon is making us think about Keefe at every single moment of this book. And it's like she specifically doesn't want us to focus on Fitz's newfound feelings for Soph.
I'm not afraid to say it. Sophie Foster loves Keefe. So much. It's apparent in every way she interacts with him. It's obvious in every way she comforts, every way she screams, every way her heart is caught up in him and his wellbeing and him him him him him. Sure, it's not the healthiest atm, what with the world falling to pieces and the trauma both of them are steadily living through, but holy mother trucker like a butcheek on a stick do those two love each other. Keefe is literally willing to do absolutely anything and everything for her, at the cost of himself, and she is willing to do anything and everything to protect him. My stars. These idiots got a whole fandom of middle schoolers up in arms over what was obvious from book five. They love each other, madly, desperately, and hopelessly. And sooner or later, they're gonna have to look each other in the eyes and face that fact.
my copy of lodestar is falling apart
i'd like to take a moment to tell my ex that he can go screw himself because that's not how you treat a lady's books.
Screw you, PJM. You know who you are, asshat.
Mr. Forkle went straight back to dehumanizing Sophie. Like, he took a break from it in Neverseen, but in this book, she is a weapon, a creation, a project, everything in between. No one thinks she's real. She's just a piece of a greater plan. And Mr. Forkle does not shy away from telling her so. At the end of the book, during the Summit, he has the actual gall to act like she's taken control of herself like, no, idiot, you raised her like this. You created this. You made this. You designed this. You may not be pulling the strings anymore but this little girl was still designed to be your puppet.
Gethen is the best Neverseen Member, I love every scene with him in it, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I'll be here all weekend.
Brant is... so very. Much. All of the time.
Oh, my stars, I have so many problems with the Enhancing ability you don't even understand. Like, literally, strip her freedom away more why don'tcha. This was just an asinine move in every way. Don't give your weapon something like this. Don't design her this way. Don't be an idiot, sure, she may be an asset to you, now, but she's an asset to everyone else, around her. Like, once anyone knows that she's got this power, it's game over. They literally just capture her and force her to hold their hands like she's some kind of toy. Battle won instantaneously.
Oh, Sokeefe, how I love thee, let me count the quotes I've underlined with such captions as "t h e m".
I tried there's too many.
Okay, but the thing is that Linh literally throws herself backwards when she finds out Sophie's an enhancer. Linh's terrified of this new ability. Grady hates it. Like, does no one else see the downfall of making Sophie dangerous to the touch? Like, this poor girl is already so affection-starved, we're just gonna take it all from her???
EDALINE!!!!!! SO AMAZING!!! I'D KILL AND DIE FOR HER!!!! LOOK AT MY MOMMA BEAR GO AT THE END OF THIS BOOK SLAY QUEEN.
Keefe is just so traumatized. And everyone's like, "clearly, he's evil" and sophie is like "no, he's flipping traumatized" and everyone's like "what's trauma lmao" and sophie's like "im not a psychologist but i feel like it's when bad happens" and everyone's like "nah let's not take that into account" like what don't be idiots this is a kid without a support system not the evil spawn of satan
Actually Grady calling Keefe "That Boy" is disgusting, it's the first thing I've strongly disliked that Grady does, and I'm never going to be over how quickly everyone in this fandom just took the nickname and decided it was a joke, instead of how Grady says that Keefe doesn't deserve to be referred to by a name at all, and says he'll have to earn his own name back. Like, ehe, no, Dad of mine, please be kind to the poor kid.
Grady was honestly pretty out of character in this book. I love the guy but jeepers someone tell him the separation between violence and the elven mind is imaginary and created by society and let him go batshit crazy on every single person in the lost cities who hurt his daughter, and also let him stick up for Keefe and see the similarities between Keefe and Jolie, doing dangerous things for the people they love, and all that.
if i have to hear one more thing about how the neverseen distract from the problem and the black swan doesn't im going to start hitting people(probably forkle)
council is so bloody fricked lmao there's no way they're making it out of this book series with any sort of governmental claim over actually literally anything
Oralie is so very Sophie's mom it's kind of startling to look back and see. Like, even Sophie expects Oralie to be her mom.
Okay, I'm sorry, but the way the Neverseen knew how everything was going to go down seems Deus Ex. Not even going to lie. I feel like it was something that Shannon needed to happen and so she just lined up the dominos. It feels very Deus Ex. Or, *coff coff* Neverseen Alden.
Oh, how I want to slap Gisela Sencen hard enough that her pea-sized brains rattle in her ginormous skull made out of her own ego.
I love how the fandom highkey forgets actively how much of a complete psycho Fintan is. Like, we all just see flamboyant arsonist and make grabby hands while canon Fintan is sitting in the corner talking to himself about blood and how pretty your skin is.
Y'know, I actually am beginning to think that Gisela would be the parent who would actually get around to hurting Keefe. I seriously think that Cassius wouldn't hurt his kid. Maybe if really angry, but not purposefully, or with intent to punish or harm. I think Gisela would. Like, if one of the two adults actually ever hit Keefe, ever actively used it as a punishment and did it more out of "this is the only way you'll learn" I honestly feel like it would be Gisela. Hmm. Time to write a fic about Keefe experiencing some severe physical pain and having no clue why. Or why he's flinching so bad at nothing when he can't remember anything coming at him like that. Because Gisela definitely gets his mind washed often.
"Did they just admit they're training us to kill" yes. They are. Get over it, Sophie. It's just a little violence. You went to exilium. You've got this handled.
Oh, my gosh, the way the Song parents makes me want to claw my skin off. That's just... that's so accurate as to how awful parents are around the public eye. They're just... good people, would never hurt their kids, so sad they've lost out on things, and yeah. Like, it's just something I never picked up on before. Tam and Linh are severely traumatized by their parents. And in the first scene you meet them, the Songs are nice people. Reasonable. Their children ran away. Don't you feel bad for them?
No, I sure the heck don't. <3
Fitz listens to his dad's secret conversations. No thoughts, just a comment.
Emperess Pernille and Oralie are best friends someone please write me a fic
Okay I have so many thoughts about the end of Lodestar i don't even think i want to write them in this post because it's just so very much to think about
i suppose i can try to summarize?
every other species(sans gnomes) commits murder under elven standards.
the summit was right to listen to Fintan Pyren.
The Council and The Black Swan do not listen to the Neverseen and try to fight them without knowing what they want, really.
Fintan says the problem is humans, but talks like they are really the solution, the catalyst, the final piece to the puzzle, the way to connect all the dots.
anyways this book screwed with my head and i equally never want to touch a volume again and immediately begin Nightfall just so i can kiss Keefe full on the mouth for existing in person again.

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks @medusasfinalgirl for tagging me!!
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 16 atm! (1 anonymous) Which is wild to me. English was my least favourite subject in school.
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 198,609 which, again, absolutely wild.
3. What fandoms do you write for? At the minute, just stranger things. But my early fics were Game of Thrones and Bridgerton.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? I'm just going off ST fics so:
(Anything You) Want - friends to lovers mutual pining Nice (Just Ain't My Type) - silly celebrity rivals au (I Don't Have To Tell You But) You're The Only One - AYW college sequel This Be The Verse - on a theme of parenthood Stay - AYW Eddie POV
I only consider 2 of these to actually be amongst my "best" fics tho.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes! I definitely try my best to respond to everything as quickly as possible. I feel very honoured that there are people out there who take time out of their day to let me know they enjoyed. Makes my day every single time!!
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Oooh okay, Haunt Me, Then! (kinktober spectrophilia fic) for now, but it's very possible that She's Got A Boyfriend Anyway (classic cheating-on-Jason fic) might beat it when I get round to finishing it.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I don't know if any of my fics have particularly strong happy endings, but off the top of my head it's got to be This Be The Verse.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Defo not on hellcheer ones! Everyone's so nice here!!! <3 My very first fic got SO MUCH hate on it but that's because I wrote it when I was 17 and it WAS terrible.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Really never thought I would, but more of my fics have smut in them than not these days lol. Idk, something about hellcheer just really made me go ...these two should be going at it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I don't, and I'd be very surprised if I ever do tbh.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Nope!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope again!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I haven't, and I'm not really sure I can ever imagine myself co-writing.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship? I mean, I've not written 13 fics for any ship other than hellcheer so that's something. In terms of longevity, Katniss/Peeta and Finnick/Annie still have the same effect on me as they did when I first read the book at like 13 years old.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? What a stressful question! I doubt I'll finish off Hard to Forgive (Hard to Forget) because it would be one of those proper multi-chapters (40k words ish by my estimates) and I just don't think I could do it.
16. What are your writing strengths? Hmm I'm not sure. I used to be quite good at setting a scene but I think I'm losing that a little. If I'm honest, recently I've been really proud of the sheer volume of what I've been writing and my willingness to venture out of my comfort zone.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? God, where to start. Weak dialogue, my repetitive writing style, difficulty writing endings, complete inability to do anything concisely. But I genuinely feel like I'm slowly improving bit by bit!
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I did French and Spanish in school, French to a slightly higher level than Spanish, so I'd feel comfortable including either of those at a school level (like them trying out saying things like "at the weekend I like to go to the park" and "I have two brothers and no sisters" in a class) but wouldn't want to risk anything more complex!
19. First fandom you wrote for? The Hunger Games. I never posted it anywhere, but I still have my old drafts for fics that I look back on every now and again just to see how far I've come!
20. Favorite fic you've written? So hard to choose! This Be The Verse because it felt so immensely personal to write or Cherry (sapphic hellcheer) because it was a long time coming. Both are eclipsed by a soon-to-be-uploaded kinktober foot fic that I will reveal is called Heart and Sole (and yes it's as dumb and silly as the title implies)!
Okay that was fun! I'm not 100% sure on who I follow writes but I'm p sure @gingertumericlemon, @bibiche007 and @achilleanenjolras all do, so would love to hear your responses if you fancy it!
