HEYYYY i really wanna see a shoto x reader with the HMM HOW DO I SAY THIS the started dating them to see if he could make them fall in love with him/ started dating them as a challenge but ended up falling for them trope WITH A HAPPY ENDING please help 🙏🙏🙏🙏

just a bet

ft. todoroki shouto (bnha)

use of Y/N and L/N, gender neutral reader, quirk’s not specific

bullet form -> full fledged fanfic (basically it’s written in a bullet form but it turns into your standard fanfic format with paragraphs and such)

fluff, angst with happy ending (shouto misinterprets things said)

note(s): i forgor my format so i made a new one 💀 btw i don’t really see shouto dating someone as a bet, but i can’t see any other way to write this request— so i made my own spin and interpretation on it 😁 anaïs from the future here, and i may or may not have gone overboard 😭

»»————-　♡　————-««

todoroki shouto

as mentioned in the notes section, i don’t see shouto as someone that’d date someone as a challenge— to see if they’d fall in love with him and such, or as a bet.

shouto’s not really invested in his love life when it comes to when he’ll find someone, but that doesn’t mean he won’t take it seriously.

he saw the domino effect his parents’ failed romance had on his family, and refuses to be in an imbalanced relationship— let alone date someone he isn’t dead set on.

so with that being said, a misinterpretation of words is what triggered the current set of events.

kaminari had noticed that the way shouto looked at you couldn’t be friendly, platonic yearning. whether or not shouto thought he was being obvious of not, or if he even realized it— he definitely had feelings for you.

and it was starting to become excruciating to watch for kaminari— to witness a cool, popular and attractive guy, not date this equally cool, popular, and attractive person he likes.

so then, that’s when it started.

scenario (pt. 1)

hook—

“i bet ¥1,200 that you can’t date L/N, todoroki!”

shouto stops in place, giving kaminari a side eye. “i don’t need ¥1,200. i have more than enough in my pocket money.”

line—

kaminari lets out a sigh, forgetting that todoroki’s pockets hurt. but he doesn’t falter one bit. “i meant that, i bet you can’t confess to them, ‘s all. the money was just a bonus.”

and that’s what really catches his attention. “confess to them about what?” he inquires genuinely, like he was trying to recall if he needed to tell you something regarding this.

kaminari’s eyes dart around, like anyone would be around to witness the absurdly. “that you like them? what else??”

shouto thinks for a moment, and it looks as if he’s trying to recall things from a different perspective. “… have i not been clear?”

“to me, yes. to them.. probably? maybe? most likely no.” kaminari says exasperated, hand now coming up to pat his shoulder. shouto feels stiff as a board under the brief contact. “you’re a popular dude, if they realized then you two would’ve been dating for months now!”

“i don’t think confessing right now is necessary. i believe i’m fine with just staying near them. our friendship.. is quite satisfactory.”

—and sinker.

“so you don’t have any courage to confess? does that mean you’ll just let someone else snatch them up?” after the words left his mouth, shouto makes a significantly obvious pause.

kaminari thinks to himself loudly, “hmm.. i wonder who will it be?” he questions, rhetorically. “should i do it? should class 1-B’s ever so cocky monoma do it? they seem to get along swimmingly. or maaaybe—”

“that won’t be a concern.” shouto coldly cuts in. “because i’ll do it.”

kaminari holds back his smile, instead— replacing it with a shocked expression (which isn’t really fabricated becaus he didn’t think he’d actually fold) “really? woah, i didn’t think that’d change your mind so quick.”

“but then wait, what do i get if you lose?”

“hm, what do you get when i lose..” shouto mimics the question— although its not said as one.

“yeah, we are betting on this, right?”

shouto shakes his head. “then it would be an unfair bet.”

“because i’ve planned on confessing and dating them regardless. i will win.”

and he did in fact go on and win the “bet” by a landslide (if you’d even call it one 😭)

he confessed his feelings— pulling you aside one afternoon after class, heart practically hammering in his chest, and stomach fluttering with butterflies.

and you accepted— which made all the anxiety worth it.

he was the ideal boyfriend. not just because he was tall, equipped with stunning and harmonious facial features with equally stunning manners, but it was also because he was just so good to you, and he allowed you to be so good to him too.

he did things he didn’t even have to do, and it all feels comfortably new even months into the relationship— which made you realize that as unbelievable as it sounds, you’re really dating your crush, todoroki shouto.

you felt so sure of yourself when you’re around him.

and that’s why you reacted so harshly when everything that was built up for months seemingly got demolished in minutes.

the two of you were getting warm drinks, when mineta appeared just a few feet away. “you two make me realize that the train tracks look good to lay down on.” he mumbles bitterly.

you laugh, stirring your drink “really now?” kaminari appears shortly after, agreeing. although he doesn’t look as bitter as your shorter classmate.

mineta perks up at that. “yeep. which makes me wonder.. how long are you going to do this for, todoroki? kaminari already lost, y’know?”

todoroki’s eyes widen at the question, “i don’t.. what?”

kaminari turns his head in mineta’s direction, like he said something of great offense, and was about to say more. “mineta, just don’t man.”

“no no, but i’m like, just super curious y’know?” mineta continues, “like, wasn’t it just a bet for you? how did you two get this far?! this is unfair! i didn’t know it would be that easy to get in a relationship!” your grape haired classmate whines, unable to read the sudden atmosphere change.

kaminari gulps, as you set your mug down.

“what does he mean.” you turn to your dual haired boyfriend, you try to steady your breathing to sound nonchalant, but the slight crack in your voice at the start of your sentence betrays you.

shouto opens his mouth, but it just confirmed it for you when he was a second too late to answer.

“you see—” kaminari scrambles to give an excuse, “it was proposed as a bet, but it wasn’t actually a bet, so technically—”

“that sounds like a bet, dude.”

“mineta—”

“it’s not as it sounds. it wasn’t a bet.” shouto answers, “though.. the circumstances should’ve been different.” he admits regretfully, heterochromatic eyes drifting from your face to your feet, noticing how you shift away from him.

and his body runs cold like a quirk malfunction when you grab your mug— fingertips against the now cool porcelain “i.. i just.. no, nevermind, it’s alright. i’m gonna go now, so..”

you know your face and voice will betray you if you stay longer, so you leave.

and shouto stands there, wondering if he should give you space and watch your figure disappear into the dark hallway, or run after you.

he chooses the later.

scenario (pt. 2)

you heave when you finally reach your room, fingers gripping your mug so hard it might just break. your vision’s starting to blur with tears of all the things you’ve been feeling these last few minutes, which is causing you to drop your dorm room’s key and miss the keyhole several times.

when you get the key in, you turn the lock and almost crumble right in when you feel a warm hand placed on your shoulder. you try not to focus on how it’s grip is firm enough to keep you in place, and blazing with familiarity.

he says your name with desperation, and you open your door more and step into your room to create space— the framing of your doorway practically being an invisible barrier.

“no, just no, i can’t,” you say, feeling pathetic when your face started to become wet with tears. you’re still unbelieving that he’d even do this, but the fact that these few months happened under not so standard circumstances was…

“i thought this was— this was something that’d happen out of those stupid teen movies we’d watch, i thought you’d never— i thought—” you hiccup, bringing a hand up to wipe your face with a hand.

he doesn’t say anything, and just breaks the barrier by stepping in and closing the door, setting your mug down on your desk. he then closes even more distance— the space between his brows creasing as he frowns, looking just as upset as you definitely look.

“when did it start? was it before we became close? was it before you asked me out? who else knew? was it all real—”

“it is real!” his voice booms with volume, clearly panicked that the idea of you thinking that his feelings weren’t real was present.

he settles his hands on your shoulders, an attempt to gather your full attention “it’s.. it’s real. if there’s one thing i’d ask you to trust in right now, it’s this. there’s some things i’d like to clarify.”

“please explain,” you practically plead, “i don’t know what to do with this information. i also.. don’t want to break up with you.”

“if you must come to that,” though he looks at you like he prays it won’t come to that. “it must be under the condition that you’ve hurt me instead. not because i’ve caused you hurt.” he lets go of you to sit down on his knees and at your feet.

“shouto, stand up—”

“i.. it’s true that i didn’t confess normally.” he starts off, ignoring your request. “i’ve liked you ever since we’ve became close friends. the moment i realized it, i assumed i was being obvious about my feelings, but kaminari betted that i wouldn’t have the courage to confess and.. someone would get to you first. i took that as a threat.”

you almost laugh at the idea of a jealous shouto, but you don’t— instead, letting out a strangled cough instead. “but i did not date you just because of a bet. i was challenged, but it was never a bet. it wasn’t a bet because there was no chance i’d never confess.”

you sniffle, bending down to be at his level. he reaches up to wipe his thumbs under your eyes— thumbs grazing at your cheekbones. “did you get anything in return? for winning?”

“i got you. that was all i needed.”

“i see..” you lean closer like you were going to whisper him a secret. but instead, you finally touch shouto by circling your arm around him— one arm wrapped around him, and the other flew to entangle your fingers in contrasting locks of hair.

“my drink became cold.” you mumble, rubbing his back when you feel him shake just as you did earlier.

he wraps strong arms around you, returning the affection.

“i’ll warm it up for you.”

I've never heard anyone talk about this theory on tumblr, but I was curious to ask you. What do you think about Ronan becoming a Grysks spy? I saw such an idea in one fanfic, but there they made Ronan just an ambitious and stupid villain. But I thought about and decided that given its canonical nature, such a development of events also seems to be probable to some extent. It seemed to me so, because look: Ronan in Ascendancy is even more vulnerable than Eli, who managed to build good relations with at least Vah'nya and Ar'alani, he obviously needs a lot of time to somehow get along with at least a brother-in-misfortune, and already especially with someone else. In essence, he is alone, and his character also repels the Chiss from him, which leads to their distrust and unwillingness to explain anything to him. A person who communicates little with anyone and understands little is easy to take advantage of, besides, attachment to some things or people is something that the Grysk are only too good at pressuring, with intimidation or cunning. And Ronan is attachmented to Krennic, to the Empire, to the Death Star, so in theory they have something to hit. In addition, if he is faithful to someone, then he is faithful, as we see, almost to the end. And if someone else could become for him a figure like Krennic to whom he "swears" - this person could push him into many things.

If anything, I'm not saying that this is a full-fledged theory and it will be so in the canon. These are just my thoughts on one of hundreds of possible scenarios. I was wondering how likely you think this is?

Oooh... honestly, as much as I love Ronan, I think that's very likely. I think it's even likelier when you consider Thrawn's suggestion to Ar'alani about feeding Ronan the right kind of information because they know he's a potential traitor.

Looking at the book, it's hard to tell if they mean that in the sense of feeding the Empire information through him or using him to misled the Grysks but both scenarios are kind of sad because neither assumes an eventual assimilation into the Ascendancy (which I'm trying to fix in my fic lol).

But yes, as you said Ronan is a very likely target for the Grysks. Ar'alani herself points it out and if something isn't done to prevent it, Ronan could easily be converted into a Grysk agent. The moment he realizes Thrawn didn't send him on some secret mission to find Chiss jedi, he'll grow even more distrustful of him. And if his experience in the Ascendancy is as negative as we assume it'll be, there's plenty of dislike there for the Grysks to feed and exploit.

In a way, characters with a lot of zeal and extreme views always have that problem. They're just... unstable. Kind of like Anakin in the prequels, because they feel so strongly about something they're open to manipulation and their loyalties can be exploited with the right kind of nudging.

That said, making Ronan's motivation ambition and depriving him of his intellect is just... dumb. Ronan genuinely believes he's on the side of the greater good, that the Empire is doing good, etc. I can see the Grysks convincing him that the Chiss are the bad guys in the grand scheme of things, maybe that they're planning to betray or attack the Empire and use his loyalty and inflated self-righteousness to pit him against them.

The thing about Ronan, I think, is that he has an eye for detail and is good at noticing things and reading people (e.g. realizing that Vah'nya is force sensitive) but he's not as good at using that information to come to the right conclusions. Sometimes he does and that's when his skills shine but sometimes his takes are just so far off it's funny.

Whether it's because he tends to overthink or because his biases skew his thinking, it's still a flaw and one that could be exploited.

My only hope for Ronan resisting the Grysks' manipulation is that he's already seen what they're capable of. There's this moment in the book where he gets a very strong reaction to seeing the bodies they've left behind ("Ronan nodded silently from his seat at the conference room table, trying very hard not to be sick. [...] He tried to remind himself that these men had been thieves who’d stolen from Stardust and the Empire, and that they deserved punishment. The rationalization didn’t help.")

At the end of the day, Ronan isn't cruel and doesn't have the stomach for cruelty. And that could be the only thing stopping him from trusting the Grysks who don't have a problem openly showing their ruthlessness. But, of course, if he's already in a bad place and vulnerable to manipulation, that might not be enough to save him.

Attention TADC fans!

I'm officially opening requests for characters! Below the cut will be my base list of rules in regards to requesting and that sort of thing!

To everyone who followed me for creepypasta, do not fret! Creepypasta is still this blogs default and I'm not going to stop writing it for the forseeable future, I will still be responding to creepypasta based asked in the meantime

oh also, im adding this right before i post this but i do have fluff alphabet requests open for creepypasta, but to my TADC fans, how do you guys feel about the possibility of me reposting that list and letting you guys ask for it? im still kinda itching to do alphabet stuff... let me know ! ill probably do it anyways but i want yalls input!

without further delay:

RULES:

please do not spam requests, i know it will be hard to enforce this on my end since i want to keep anon enabled since i know it can be intimidating to ask for stuff non-anonymously

since the main cast + caine only totals to 7 characters i will allow people to request the entire cast in any given request, WITH THE KNOWLEDGE that the more characters the shorter their list of hcs will be

please do not pester me to answer your request, i will very likely answer your initial ask. consistent breaking of this boundary will result in warning, and if further boundary breaking takes place, the request will be terminated

^SHOULD NOTE! sometimes tumblr eats the requests you guys send in so simply asking if your request made it through is 100% totally fine!! I'm specifically talking about people who try to pressure me to answer sooner, I want to make that clear because I do not want to discourage anyone from reaching out about that sort of thing

Reader is GN by default, you can request a specific gender but know it likely wont be important due to my writing style

WILL WRITE:

SFW, angst, comfort, hcs, short imagines and scenarios!

As mentioned I will do all characters, asides Bubble since I don't think there's much that can be done for them

Poly, LGBT, readers with disabilities and/or disorders (will let it be known here that i am in no way well versed in every disability/disorder, however i will attempt to do basic research for the request)

I am also comfortable with writing platonic requests and found family dynamics! I am not limiting myself and you guys to romantic stuff!

reader abstracting, while this may seem contradictory to some of the things in my will not write segment I have written about grief and loss before and I don't think it fully fits the category of what I won't write + death in general, so it shall get a pass

really there isnt much i will turn down that comes to mind, if something is breaching a line or making me uncomfortable i will let you know

reader inserts, ocs, and the like are all welcome here! im not too confident with oc x character stuff due to the simple fact that i fear i may interpret your oc wrong but i am still willing to try!

WILL NOT WRITE:

general problematic stuff is an immediate no

^so like, straight up abuse and abuse adjacent topics since as far as Im aware all the characters in TADC are adults (if I have that wrong please please correct me!!)

i am also iffy on yandere requests, this one is more on a case by case basis so please be sure to specify the intensity of it, since that will really be a make or break for whether or not if the request is accepted

NSFW, this blog is for the most part SFW. I occasionally vague certain aspects, however nothing is ever explicit. That's how far I'm willing to go with these things and I want to keep it that way

Full fledged fanfics; a lot of my scenarios/imagines tend to border on that just on a much shorter scale and in a slightly different format, but I am not totally confident in my ability to write proper fics :(

no graphic depictions of gore or self harm, and i ask that you keep that out of my inbox in general. topics like SH are allowed, however covering requests for the act of it as its happening is an automatic no (IE if you ask me to walk in on a character walking in during an act of self harm), the same applies to suicide

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

i have a nasty habit of not proofreading my stuff, so grammar and spelling mistakes are bound to happen unfortunately. this tends to be a worse issue when im posting on mobile (which i am doing less and less since i like typing on a keyboard more)

^ on top of that i struggle with writing, english is my first language but i have a hard time getting stuff out right on top of having dyslexia so please be patient

i typically tend to respond to requests fairly fast, typically within a day or two, though i do have some periods where it may take longer. (possible) same day delivery YAHOO!!

back to a forewarning, i have a habit of rambling and adding additional ideas and concepts into a request though for the most part i think i remain on topic (that just means you get a little extra content for your request ueueue)

#tadc imagine #tadc x reader #pomni x reader #caine x reader #kinger x reader #ragatha x reader #gangle x reader #zooble x reader #jax x reader

A Post talking about writing my first Monty Python AU fanfic (of sorts)

This is my first time wanting to write a fanfic. Hope it turns out well! Especially since this particular (albeit kinda morbid) topic of mine has interested me for a while, also because I want to get it out of my chest due to having nightmares about it a while ago, so it'll be better for me to write it down and probably make my health and mind better mentally. Anyway, uhh rambling over. Please do let me know your thoughts on the fanfic idea for when I actually make the idea a full fledged fanfic (maybe with the help of my friends, if they're comfortable with it that is), criticisms and all, just so that i can fine-tune some aspects of it! Thank you.

The working title for the fanfic is called "POV: John and Michael have Ceased to Be...." (A Monty Python AU fanfic)

Age Rating: 13+ and older

Tone: Angst (mostly angst but with some humour in there)

CW/TW: Assassination mention, grief mention, survivors guilt mention.

Synopsis: Today is Friday, 9th November, 1979. You and your friend are watching the "Friday Night, Saturday Morning" debate on the TV, where John Cleese and Michael Palin are up against Bishop Mervyn Stockwood and Interviewer Malcolm Muggeridge about the film "Life of Brian" discussing the accusations of the film being "blasphemous". Along with them, a weird-looking yet somewhat humble and somewhat quiet person called Benjamin Haroldson, a member of the public who was brought in to share their thoughts on the film "Life of Brian", stares at and is mostly fixated on John and Michael. You notice how Benjamin almost always has his hands in his coat pockets, never letting them out. You don't mention this to your friend since, to be honest, it's just a minor detail that you've noticed. Whilst your friend goes to make sandwiches for you and them, you're still at the couch enjoying the programme. One the TV, Benjamin asks for a glass of water, and gets up. That's sounds normal, right? Well, as everyone gets on debating with each other, Benjamin brushes past John and Michael. After Benjamin has his glass of water, he suddenly stands behind where John is sitting, and to your shock, you see him calmly pull out a gun, John at first not noticing and Benjamin shoots him in the head, bits of his brain spread across the floor, blood flowing down his forehead. Michael, in shock, shouts out "J-Joh-" before he too is shot next by Benjamin, his head split with a bullet wound, blood gushing out through his cold, dead face. Everyone in the studio is screaming in horror. Your face is covered by your shivering hands, trying to believe it's not true. That it's just some horrible prank, a joke even. But no.... it's really happening. The last thing you see is Benjamin's cold, emotionless face. The last thing you hear from him is ".....you shouldn't have made that film, you blasphemous twats..." .

Okay, so I've read a couple of Revalink soulmate AU fics but I can never get through them because honestly I've never really liked the concept. And honestly, I feel like there's a decent chance Link would feel the same.

I mean, you've got a guy who didn't really get to choose almost anything about his life - he's a knight because his father was, he's Zelda's guard because he was selected by the King, he's the chosen hero because he's destined for it - and then he doesn't even get to choose who he falls in love with? And in most soulmate AUs probably has a literal physical mark on his body constantly reminding him of that fact? That's not romantic, that's existentially horrifying!

This idea might already be a thing but I've never really read fanfic before about a month ago when I got the Revalink brainrot so I don't know, but here's an idea I call the anti-soulmate AU.

Basically Revali doesn't have whatever soulmate-identifying mark exists in this story, and Link does, which is part of why Revali resents Link while Link is in some ways envious of Revali for the opposite reason. Somehow they end up actually talking to each other and grow close, and eventually Link basically decides "fuck it, I don't care that there's some destined perfect partner for me, I'm choosing to be with this guy." And even though they provably aren't soulmates and their relationship maybe isn't perfect, they still love each other and are happy together.

There can be some angst about Revali feeling insecure since there is someone out there who objectively would be a better partner for Link even though Link doesn't actually want to be with them, and about how this is basically depriving Link's soulmate of their perfect partner. Who that person is doesn't really matter, but making it Mipha would add even more to her whole "tragic one-sided pining" thing. Or it could just be some random person, like I said it's kinda unimportant.

Anyway the Calamity happens, and since Link kinda-sorta-dies whatever soulmate mark he has goes too and he's finally totally free from it. I have no idea if that's a thing that happens in these AUs, like I said I don't really read them much, but it kinda makes sense and fits this story so whatever. Maybe have Revali be revived after Ganon's defeated so there can be a happy ending.

Revalink as a concept is always just a little bit contrived. You have to mess with the timeline of the backstory if you want them to be a thing pre-calamity, you need to change how the Champion ghosts work to have them be a thing mid-game, or you need to have all the champions come back from the dead in order to have them be a thing post-canon, and you almost always need to mess with their personalities to have it be even slightly plausible. It's always kinda messy and doesn't totally make sense, and in this story that would basically be true in-universe and that's exactly why Link wants to be with him. He's pretty much the exact opposite of a perfect, destined partner who fits together with Link flawlessly.

Sorry for basically writing the entire synopsis of a fic that doesn't exist and probably isn't even that good of an idea, but as I mentioned I have the Revalink brainrot and I have no friends who I can send ideas like this to and I need to tell them to somebody.

so first of all, NEVER apologize to me for writing a whole fic synopsis in my askbox. my friend, are you familiar with my blog? all i do is write the longest fic rambles in the world here instead of writing full-fledged fic to upload to ao3 ☝️😭 so please do not even worry!!! i like ur fic idea a lot and it's good!!! and if you'd like, we can be friends and u can do what crow cryiling (affectionate) does and spam my inbox or messages w your ideas whenever you want 🤍 i luv to hear about revalink always

i honestly really love soulmate aus because i'm a hopeless romantic 😭🤍 SORRY but i do agree that to write a really good soulmate au for revalink, you can't just put any soulmate au template on them. like revali himself will actively break the fourth wall to fight against it because it just doesn't fit their dynamic; their whole relationship is built off of defying fate, re:your second-to-last paragraph. canon botw doesn't outline a clear path for revalink to ever be together in the way it might for zelda, mipha, or sidon even, so we'll always have to bend or break the rules of their universe for even a glimpse of future where they can be happy together 🥹 but it's the best part of their dynamic: they weren't supposed to be together, but goddamn it do they look good together.

i remember reading a fic where link and revali did have soulmate-identifying marks (i forgot what it was called but link's soul mark was revali's entire monologue in the revali's flap memory, and link hated him for it LMAO), but the idea that link would despise seeing the mark is so 🥺💔 i'm imagining maybe link was so excited to have one as a child, but after pulling the master sword and becoming a knight of hyrule, he now sees how he's doomed his soulmate to being tied to him and how he's responsible for their future or whatever. link has gotta develop some sort of altruistic complex about how he has to serve the people even at the cost of himself, i can't articulate it well right now, but i hope you get what i mean??? but that influences his resentment at the existence of the soulmark — not that he resents the person who is his actual soulmate, just the fact that he has one because he views himself as a burden on his soulmate as a result of his current position in life.

revali being born without a soul mark makes me so sad 😭 mixing this with my hc about him being orphaned, but revali getting bullied for not only not having parents but also not having a soulmate 💔💔 some of these rito kids are dickheads talking about "the goddesses wouldn't grant you even one person who would love you, haha!" and it definitely influences his workaholic tendencies training to become to most powerful warrior ever. he copes by saying he thinks soulmates are ridiculous and that there was no way there was another person in the world who could be perfect for you, that you should be given the ability to choose who you wanted to be with (but deep down, revali wants to know who the goddess would have chosen for him, if he did have a soulmate ㅠㅠ)

what do you think the conversation between link and revali would be like when they decide they want to be together, soulmates or not? what about the moment they fall for each other? who falls first? would it be mutual pining and trying to resist at first, because revali knows link has a soulmate who he deserves more than revali and link holding back because he knows what revali feels about the whole soulmate thing? or do they fall in love without holding back anyway, with link not caring for his soulmate at all like you mentioned? making mipha link's soulmate........ so tragic i feel bad for her fr if link resented her for being his soulmate kJDFKJD 😭 i lowkey wanna write these scenes tho idk HAHAHAH

the soul mark disappearing after link "dies" and is put in the shrine of resurrection is a really interesting idea though! like what's the mechanics behind that? i feel you'd have to go back and decide how the soulmate system works; is it a mysterious magic that no one can figure out? is it decided by some god of fate or love, hyrule's counterpart to aphrodite/eros? how did the magic decide that because link was "dead", he can't have a soulmate anymore/disconnected him from his soulmate? or what if link's soulmate died during the calamity before he was put in the shrine and soulmate-logic was like 'if your soulmate is dead, the mark disappears' so link's mark fades mid-battle and he doesn't realize it? and furthermore, link waking up in the shrine a century later and looks at his hand or some shit where the mark used to be and either (1) feeling a strange sense of melancholy at the empty spot on his skin or (2) looking at it but feeling nothing at all, and continuing with getting out of the shrine.

you could also explore how soulmate dynamics change throughout the hundred years he's gone. i'm sure plenty of people died during the calamity and lost their soulmates, so how does that alter the whole societal norms and culture surrounding soulmates? are people still born with soulmates after the calamity? do you think it becomes a taboo, that it's dangerous to meet your soulmate because what if you lose them? or do they see it as a mark of fortune, that love still prevails even in this near godless world after an era of tragedy? and then how does link interact with the world following his awakening, to find out that people have soulmates and look back at the empty, unmarred part of his skin and wonder, did he have one too? who were they? did he love them, and did they love him too?

AND ANOTHER THING, if mipha was his soulmate back then, does she still have her soul mark on her ghost?????? what if she did because well. it's her spirit and not her actual body, so when link meets her again post-waterblight, she's saddened by not only link's lack of memory of her but also the fact he's lost his soul mark. and also remembering that link would still probably resent her if he had his memory.

furthermore, there's two scenarios that instantly come to mind when i think about post-calamity revalink here. (1) revali seeing link post-windblight but link doesn't remember and revali having a similar reaction/feeling to mipha, but is having an internal conflict about whether or not he should be happy that link no longer has a soulmate he's bound to or sad that because of that, he'll never have another chance with link again because he's dead </3 or (2) champions are revived but link still doesn't remember his time with revali pre-calamity so revali is trying to give link an out and let him go to be given the chance to love someone else in his new life, but for whatever reason link is still drawn to him, moving to rito village and practically living in revali's shadow. it's another slow-burn of them falling in love all over again and maybe link gets his memories back?

if you ever plan on writing this, my friend....... feel free to send it to me because i'd Love to read it. like fr. there's so much potential for this one

#revalink #ask #exceedinglygayotter #anti-soulmate au #i'm still a shooter for a revalink soulmate au KJDHSKDF but it really does have to be well written for me to enjoy it #but the messing around with revalink is one of my favorite parts ab their dynamic i think #nothing is truly concrete about their characters in botw so there's a lot of creative liberty that can be taken #link can be whatever you want bc technically Us at the Players Are Link #and someone in my ao3 comments mentioned this but #because there's not a lot of revali's character to really draw from canonically there's not really an “OOC” version of revali?#like you can't prove that he's always a dickhead like that because he kinda has a one-dimensional personality in botw LOL #so as long as you stay near that facet and expand on it #you have free reign over both of their characters and the only limitation is the world you put them in #i'm just rambling now sorry i'm sleepy #but anyways i Do like this au and i would really love to see more of it <3 #sorry it was so late btw LMFAOKDJFH

What do you think about the theory that AFO used to be a university professor before becoming a full fledged villain? This is based of of 369 where you can see the University of Tokyo in the background and would explain how he met Ujiko + gotten a lot of access to quirk research + maybe vulnerable youths to recruit.

Theory of a University Professor AFO??? I don't believe in that but that sounds like a great AU idea for the future. Great way to recruit disillusioned college students because honestly he be GREAT at it and I enjoy if it is true.

Tho the reason I'm skeptical. Is one, he's wearing a business suit even in flashbacks talking about his rise as a villain meaning if anything he PROBABLY was a businessman. Likely a reflection of Japan's terrible work environments in Black Companies that work you basically to death.

Those things were known for making businessmen suicidal because they just barely have time to go home. Even in the manga in his first appearance to the protagonist, he's hunched over. Given the image of being hanged, I do love imagery.

(Chapter 88)

Ujiko is a pariah, meaning both the government and Science community made a joke out of him. It would NOT be hard for AFO to seek him out as he seems attracted to those with nowhere to go. Ujiko could not continue his research when he was seen as a joke everywhere.

But also if want ideas on vulnerable youth I actually reference the idea in my fanfic Treasure Vault. As he apparently controlled orphanages way before Tomura or Touya. So it likely used it for recruiting before settling on Tomura as his vessel.

It was even mentioned that he thought he felt 'guilty' because kept seeing the quirks in his dreams which frightened him. But it was Ujiko that helped him find out more specifics and also All for One is shown to make him attracted to quirks. Kind of similar to how Toga can't HELP her admiration for blood he can't help admiring quirks.

Now imagine if your parents found out you are interested in these FREAKS of nature during the time when everyone was terrified of these people suddenly having powers. Trying to force him to be normal, have a normal job, normal life, likely dyed his hair-

Until clearly something happened since AFO said Yoichi was his ONLY family meaning either they abandoned them or died. Likely in a quirk-related incident.

Basically, AFO is a self-made man but not one that ever got the 'benefit' of higher education he worked his ass off constantly like a businessman. If was in fact taking care of his little brother, professors don't get paid too much compared to crimes while being very demanding. That is just my idea on his back story of course.

Also I've rp a teacher!AFO so I'm nostalgic now.

#all for one #all for one mha #boku no hero academia #yoichi shigaraki #my hero academia #yoly's talks #yoly's theories #(Could he have been a professor? Absolutely! But it hard to imagine him committing to it as a occupation in canon is all not impossible.)

I've noticed how you're one of the few writers who never use Alys as someone Aemond cheats on the reader/oc with, like I was so worried when she was mentioned in dépaysement thinking he will definitely cheat, but like oh my god? You added the slight angst without him actually cheating and you portrayed her in quite a positive light as well.

AND I WAS EXPECTING THE READER TO START PULLING OUT HATE WHEN AEMOND WENT 'My alys' but she literally did none of that and instead understood the reason and cause.

I love this sm.

But i have a question, will you ever make Aemond cheat on the reader or OC with Alys?

And will you ever make a fully fledged Alys fanfic?

Hello! I don't really use that plot in fanfics mainly because I'm a firm believer that Aemond is extremely loyal to the woman he loves, whether it be the reader, an OC, or alys herself.

Unless it's a silly little one shot that isn't a slowburn and Aemond x Reader related, like for example my alys one shot "Better Than Revenge"

And tbh, I try to leave her character as ambiguous as possible in all of my stories, but i do write positive stuff about her cause you know.. She's my fav. Even in dépaysement, in that fic, this is aemond's alternate life, the one where the reader interfered between canon events, though it's a different life, there's still a subconscious connection between him and alys because in the world where the reader did not exist, aemond loved alys, which is why he feels somewhat connected to her, and wasn't able to kill her but instead set her free, and the reader understands why and doesn't blame him for it, her only request to aemond was to not cheat on her, because she was worried about the connection too, and aemond was true to his promise while letting alys go.

And to answer your 1st question, I'm not really sure if I will ever do that, if I were to, it would not likely be an aemond x reader fic, but rather someone else x reader and it would probably be a plot device to get the reader with the said character and get rid of aemond out of the way in a lazy manner HASHHW 😭😭

And the 2nd question, I definitely will once her character is fully out on the show!! I can't really write a full fledged fanfic on her yet because we know so little about her, but once she's revealed in the show I will, but for now it's just going to be oneshots <3

And don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the creators who write the troupe, it's fanfic after all, you do you! they just wanna use it as a plot device and that's alright ig, once again, it's just fanfic, and since we know little about her character, motives, and her relationship with aemond, it leaves the door open for such troupes in order to get their plot going and i don't blame them, because one more time, it's just a fic!! the fanfiction cannot alter the canon events that will unfold in the show 🩷🩷 and on this note, do not send hate or harass the authors that do write this troupe, if you do not want to like it, just stop reading & ignore the fic! 💞

I already told this to others but I NEVER want to hear fans complaining about avatar pandering and how byleth ruins the game when we have so many examples of edelstans behaving badly, at best, over their black hole character fave who warps everything in her orbit, including apparently the smidgeon of decency these people have when it comes to fandom disagreements.

I have a stalker who has sent me rape threats, racist insults, doxxing attempts, and antisemitic slurs for almost a decade now. I still cannot fathom an entire discord server making genocide jokes and laughing about wanting to kill someone for the crime of having different opinions over a fucking videogame.

We may differ in our own game opinions, but rest assured because you totally have my support, and I’m sorry those soulless losers set their sights on you, and i’m sorry too for nilsh and moonlit. I’m finally coming out as a full-fledged ladle hater and I sincerely hope the stannies get a fucking life and learn to leave people alone and just learn to fucking block if someone says something mean about their fictional meow meow

Hey thanks, I really appreciate it! And I'm sorry you have to deal with some no life stalker. I hope you're safe and thriving.

I'll be honest and say I'm really not worried about myself in this situation. These guys don't scare me and I'm in a pretty stable place mentally + emotionally for the most part, so I'm not really rattled by it. I'm angry about it. The complete lack of respect for me and some of the topics at hand is appalling, and if they're saying this stuff about me then they're probably saying this stuff about others.

I don't expect everyone to like or even agree with me, and it really doesn't bother me if someone wants to block me or ignore me because they find me annoying or they don't like my takes or my ships or my taste in fanfic or whatever other reason. It doesn't even really bother me if they want to complain about me privately to their friends. But it's not impossible to disagree with someone and still believe they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Not making jokes about murdering someone seems, like, the bare minimum requirement and they can't even hit that apparently. So again, I really appreciate you saying all of this.

★ for deja reve/vu? 👀

also I'd just like to add, I don't read smut all that often but was absolutely blown away by your fic. doyoung's hot already but SHIT you made him so much hotter LOLFHAFKJ. not to mention the characterization and exposition and build up?? and the development from the first part to the second part? I really appreciate when smut scenes serves a greater purpose of creating round characters and giving them nuance, so this was an amazing read. ty for writing, will def be checking out your other stuff soon !!

oh this is...so humiliating and also painful my bestie is going to make so much fun of me for this ask........

★ what was the scene you most wanted to write in [deja reve/vu]? what was the hardest scene to write?

i think the scene i most wanted to write in reve was probably the first scene of her walking in on him working. even now that scene lives pretty rent-free in my head and i may never escape it's grasp!

nothing was hard to write about it if i'm honest i wrote the whole thing in 14 hours total without an outline...😵‍💫

for vu the scene i wanted to do the most was probably the photography scene, followed shortly thereafter by the full-fledged bdsm scene...which is funny because i don't actually find that much joy in writing bdsm but what i did want to come from it was him experiencing dom drop since i feel like that isn't often covered in fic like, at all. like i don't think i have ever seen it personally.

and again nothing about this one was especially difficult for the same reasons as reve, i sorta just sat down, banged it out, and that was that. humiliating the things we do when the carnal wanting of man takes the wheel 🤨

also thank you so so much for the kind words!! you're very sweet, and i think we very much feel similarly as far as smut in fanfic goes so i'm happy to be of service 🫡

Want to be featured here? Head to this page and fill in the form!

See what this is about here, or if you’re using the app here.

What’s your fannish ID? In most spaces (ao3, twitter, etc) you can find me under thelonebamf which is a handle I've had for //checks watch// over twenty years now and has a laughable origin that as far as I know predates the B.A.M.F. acronym, but guess who looked like a total d-bag on forums for years lol. Anyways, yeah, I've been lost in the Marvel sauce for literal decades now. Here on tumblr you can find me at @amazing-spiderling which is kind of a mishmash of one of the names Tony gives Peter in Civil War that I thought was funny.

What types of fanworks do you create? I dabble in creating fanart, comics, fics, and have made one fanmix and would probably do more if my taste in music was better. I have also smooshed all those interests together to run a small ask blog! I have run zines and events in other fandoms and would probably like to take a stab at that when irl calms down a little for me. :)

What are your favourite types of fanworks, when you’re not creating? I consume a lot of fanfic, pretty much every night before bed. XD I've just started getting into listening to podfics more recently. I love fanmixes especially when I'm trying to get some inspiration for a ship and want to get a feel for how other people interpreted the pairing. Gives you a little perspective. And who doesn't love some adorable fanart of their faves? Fan videos are great, but probably even better when you're watching them with your fandom friends and yelling over the internet. XD Oh, and when I see a full fledged fan comic, I pretty much lose my mind.

What do you like in particular about this fandom? I am pretty myopic when it comes to fandoms and ships. I'm usually there for one character/one ship only. In this case, I am here (the DD/Defenders fandom) for MattFoggy goodness exclusively. Of course since the two characters have SO much history, and are incapable of existing outside each other's orbits, canon has presented us with so many delightful and entertaining versions of their partnership to play with. Goodness knows I've fallen deep down the Earth-65 (Spider-Gwen) hole with these two and am likely never to crawl out. Oops. I love a good regular canon story too, and I'm happy to devour any AU a fic throws at me.

Do you like participating in fan events? I really enjoy doing fandom events and collaborations! I think I leaned into it pretty hard when I first started creating for the Daredevil fandom because it felt like if I was doing an exchange or a bang, then I was making something that at least one person was going to be into. Also, I have found that in most cases, it's a great way to meet people and make friends. I am one of those people that loves to pick my partner's brain, and likewise offer suggestions when needed. Sometimes you really hit that stride with each other and it makes you both that much more excited to work on the thing, and that's awesome. FRENS!

What about your creating process? If I'm writing, I find other words really distracting, but I also find it hard to work in silence. Coffee shop music is usually okay because it's not right in my face, but if I'm at home (god, when was the last time I worked in a coffee shop…) I need to have a more chill ambient thing going on. I put on a lot of lo-fi and vaporwave mixes when I need to make words be go. TBH I am SUCH a Goldilocks when it comes to writing. The vibe needs to be right, I need to have a plan in mind, my chair needs to be comfy… etc etc. At least when I do get down to it, I can smash out the words pretty quickly, just getting to that point can take some finesse. XD

If I'm drawing, it's another thing entirely. I tend to put on television, but it has to be something that I've either seen before (so I'm not worried about looking at the screen) or something that is really low stakes (youtube people reviewing snacks or something). I think I actually prefer people talking to music for art times… usually. It can just depend on what I'm working on.

Do you interact a lot with other fans? I am on discord... way too much, and pretty much have one foot in the Avocados server during all of my waking hours- which is great. I've made some really good friends there! [get in touch with lonebamf for info about the Avocados server!] Other than that, I always make an effort to comment on people's posts on other platforms where I feel like that kind of engagement is lacking (fanart on twitter/instagram) because I know how much I enjoy encouragement. Of course my inbox is always open here (and on the askblog, duh) in case anyone ever wants to pick my brain.

Do you have other fandoms you'd like to talk about? I am VERY slow to shift fandoms/ships (and never really leave, tbh), so my list is not very long. The most relevant one to mention would be Spideypool (and Spider-Man as a whole). I even did a podcast about Spider-Man and some of his wilder exploits called "Was Spider-Man There?" where my non-comic reading friend would make up a wild situation and I would have to figure out if it ever happened in canon. Good times. I also spent a lot of time in the Metal Gear Solid Snake/Otacon fandom because I guess there's just something in my DNA that makes me love "trained soldier who has the skillz to pay the billz and his dorky best friend and they make each other better people" as a ship dynamic.

Is there any particular piece you'd like to showcase for this post? So I love my askblog and my comics but the thing I want to point at with big neon flashing arrows is this fanfic I did for a recent server exchange called "The Indictment of Sick Jan" which is an Earth-65 fic about DA Nelson attending a holiday party Matt has invited him to against his better judgement. I really love writing Murderdock and their interactions and hope to get some more fics like this out there, but this is what I have to share for now! I would love it if more people checked it out! https://archiveofourown.org/works/36828508

Also, just saying, but you can also find all of my askblog comics crossposted to my ao3, just in case you want to read the whole thing in chronological order, or leave a comment with real talky words for me. <3

Is there anything else you want to tell us about yourself? I have two very cute pups and every day is a struggle not to use that new tumblr blaze feature to force thousands of people to look at pictures of them being cute. [Puppy pics below]

[ID: A collage of two dog photos. On the right is a tan Pomeranian, lying on a wood floor with his paws in front of him, head slightly tilted and wearing a smile. The photo is decorated with a pink thought bubble with a bone in it. This is Bijou and he is a very good boy. On the left is a small mixed breed dog, standing in dry grass. Her coat is neatly trimmed and entirely black except for the tip of her muzzle and her toes. She is also smiling at the camera and has goofy triangle ears because she is a triangle head. The photo is decorated with a small blue word bubble that says "bow wow". Her name is Vivi and she is a mischief (but still good).]

Where can your fanworks be found? Well first and foremost, you should check out my Earth-65 askblog over at @ask-nelsonandmurderdock because that's where the fun stuff is. (And give me a follow and throw an ask my way while you're there!)

You can find the rest of my recent stuff at https://amazing-spiderling.tumblr.com/tagged/my%20art (well most of it, there's some stuff I didn't tag during that weirdness this past December and I need to go back and fix that…)

And of course, you can find me over on ao3 at thelonebamf and Discord as thelonebamf#9897

I hope to interact with all you cool kids soon!

Thank you, @amazing-spiderling !

full fledge fanfic idea i’m too fuckin lazy to write and definitely not cuz i haven’t wrote fanfic in 5 years , yes i know i’m annoying

you’re mad at eddie for something he did, so you lecture him about it and he’s giving you massive puppy dog eyes and tryna work his way onto your good side. little touches and hugs he knows that would calm you down and little glances. when you finally look at him he mutters “are you still mad at your eddie spaghetti?” while giving you and every bigger puppy dog eye look (dunno how that’s possible man is one act way from killing me with cuteness) and you MELT and forgive him

this man does that shit on purpose

OWHWBENDNDBEJEBEBDJSBDSUBNDBDBDBDJSB the thought of him giving me puppy dog eyes makes me want to just combust.

IMAGINE and stick with me-

You’re mad at him because he’s honest a clueless human and didn’t realize the people that were flirting with him. Hell it probably took him a few months or weeks to realize you were flirting. (Gotta love our clueless babyboy) you were so upset because he was flirting back (even though he was just trying to be nice) you had been lecturing him for a good 20 minutes about why he shouldn’t talk to them etc.

He’s a good boy so he just sat and listened intently to everything you said reaching out to tug your hand or rub your arm as you paced around his trailer’s living room. You sighed and he made his eyes wide and droopy sticking his bottom lip out as he held onto your hand. “Are you still mad at your Eddie spaghetti?” You looked down at him fighting your want to cave. “Ed’s you looking at me like that isn’t gonna work” but then he’d stick his lip out further and widen his eyes a bit more making his lip quiver.

“God damnit” you’d mutter and he’d smile tugging you into his lap “that’s not always gonna work.” You defend and he chuckles kissing your shoulder. “I’m sorry i made you upset, I’ll be more aware okay? Promise.” You’d nod and he’d start peppering kisses on your arm,shoulder,neck, and jaw making you smile.

Look at him?!? HES JUST OBVIOUSLY SUCH A SWEETHEART AND I JUST WANNA SMUSH HIS CHEEKS AND GIVE HIM KISSES

Hey Rosy! It’s NaNoWriMo’s Eve! I have been super busy this year and unmotivated for everything, including writing. However, I’ve been itching to write, just don’t know how to start. Everytime I think of my projects I get overwhelmed, and thinking of doing them for NaNo makes me more anxious than anything. My simplest story ended up becoming somewhat complex, so I scratched even the idea of participating this year.

Except… there’s this video game called League of Legends, you probably heard about it, that most years created a virtual music group with characters from the game featuring real artists and they’re always super successful. There are two characters of the game that are demons or demonic in essence, and the idea of a fanfic formed in my mind.

I’m not used to writing fanfic, and I’m just used to writing full fledged fantasy stories. So, two demonic entities that are famous singers while hiding their identities in a world kinda like ours but that start out as rivals and may end up romantically linked, or that simply get closer and closer for sharing their ventures into the real world and bond over a feeling of belonging or something. Done many times, but it sounds good in my head.

Now here’s my question (and I’m sorry for the super long ask just to ask this), I have the characters and have some sort of sense where I want this story to go, but I don’t know what else to do. I don’t have a villain, I’m not used to not having a villain. I don’t have a quest, or a chosen one, or… do I even have a plot? I don’t know how to develop the story from here. A crime doesn’t seem to fit. But I didn’t want to complicate it with, I don’t know, an important task or quest for an item or whatever. Most of my stories are character-driven, but I can pinpoint all of the other elements in them. In here, I’m kind of lost. How do I find my voice?

Thank you <3

Oh hi! I am so sorry to be late on this ask. I suppose I have not been paying attention to my tumblr. (my internet is so slow that only text loads sometimes so that makes it worse.)

But we're only three days into nano so I hope I haven't screwed you up without an answer. In case you're still struggling or anyone else is.

Lets talk about it. You have multiple questions here so I'll answer the last first.

How do you find your voice?

Your voice is you. It's what you like, what you don't like, how you speak, the tone in your writing, the things that are important to you, the themes you choose, the people who influence you. Everything about you, so finding your voice is discovering who you are and also believing in yourself enough to think that's good enough and not be pushed by what other people say you should be.

How do you find that? By writing. By telling the stories that are inside of you and taking them all the way to the end so you can gain experience and discover your writing process and how it all works out.

Now about your story. You have characters and setting and, frankly, a romance story. Or a romance secondary plot. Perfectly valid as the main plot but if you want to have different plot, here's how you do it for character based stories.

Figure out what your characters want more than anything. Choose an external goal, like, they are competing for WORLDS GREATEST POP STAR or whatever, and that seems to be the goal.

But ALSO choose and internal goal, like 'to find acceptance and love,' or 'self esteem and peace' or 'to break away from their demonic family' or whatever.

NOW how do you get a plot or villain out of that?

By planting an obstacle in the way of their goals, both internal and external. For instance, there could be another contestant in the worlds greatest pop star contest who is getting ready to beat them both. Or maybe they're devious and betray them. Or maybe the obstacle is they are eachother's biggest competition and obstacle. But as they fight against each other they are falling in love-- now suddenly the external goal to win the contest is the obstacle to the internal goal to find love. There's your romance plot.

But if you want that as a secondary plot, you can just stick in any obstacle that you think will interfere with their goals. It's best if overcoming that obstacle actually helps them grow and develop their character, so facing a fear or a demon of their past (metaphorically in most cases but possibly literally in this case) maybe their demonic natures are about to be outed on live television and they have to stop it. Stories don't have to have villains. Sometimes it's 'mc against nature' or 'mc against god' or whatever. Sometimes they've set up a cascading set of factors that will ulitmately lead to their downfall and they have to try and stop what they started.

The possibilities really are endless and that's sometimes why it's so hard to pick one. But the wonderful thing about writing stories is that you can make it whatever makes you excited and happy or terrified and thrilled, depending on what floats your boat.

Good luck and happy nanowrimo!

19, 22?

hii!!! this got really really long so i'm putting it under a readmore

19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?

Growing up I was that child that wanted to be a writer/artist. Was always reading, kept a diary in the traditional sense, etc etc. In more recent years I’ve still kept a journal but it’s more for writing ideas after I turn off devices for the night/to clear out my brain when I’m especially muddled. Still write it out by hand tho!

I only started writing in earnest around May/June 2020. It was after I’d been assigned a short story to write and I was also in a wattpad phase at the time💀 so I kinda just. turned to fanfic? I’d already written something (had been forced to, anyway) but I definitely could have done better even for then so I wanted to further my writing skills! Funny slightly related fact but tumblr writing tips that were screenshotted and brought to pinterest taught me more about writing than my years in school did LMAO

I’ve always had trouble with motivation, meaning I lose it easily/it’s hard to start writing so that’s always been something that has made my writing journey… bumpy to say the least. And that doesn’t include the months long bouts of writer's block I’ve had.

But in general I’d say my writing journey has been pretty steadily climbing and getting better! Occasionally I look back at my old writing and wonder at how far I’ve come in only two years lol. As of today I’m pretty happy with where I am. Obviously there’s always things I can improve on (so many things…) but I’ve learned to just roll with my ideas and have found a way of outlining bigger fics that works for me better than a traditional “outline.” I feel like if I would have known that writing is really just “do whatever the fuck you want” when I started than I would have been less intimidated and started way earlier. But I’m here now and have a whole ao3 account under my belt so. BUT ANYWAY

22. How organized are you with your writing? Describe to me your organization method, if it exists. What tools do you use? Notebooks? Binders? Apps? The Cloud?

Not! Organized! I pretty much just write on one google account. All my essays for school, fic ideas, full fledged multis, whatever you think of it’s probably there. I use one single google account for… everything. (which is not a good idea so don’t do it). But I do have some sort of organization? It makes sense to me anyway. I have:

a lot of small little notebooks that have a bunch of ideas in them (4-5 maybe? They’re all in one place in case I want to go look back at old ideas)

My google docs

The notes app on my phone! I have a lot of different notes for different ships/fic ideas if they’re big ones/dialogue prompts. It’s messy, but more of an organized chaos? As is everything with me lmao

Also if I’m out somewhere and don't have time to load up the google docs app I just text myself a shorthand version of the thought I’m having. Sometimes I’ll also write it on my hand if it’s short

this got really long oops but ty for the ask <3

shot through the heart (and you’re to blame)

In which years after quite literal heartbreak for Bell, she’s gotten reassigned to Russell Adler’s team. Keep it professional, he had once said and so she would. If only the man himself could follow his own words as he takes an uncanny interest in her Walkman and music.

In which in a world where soulmates can hear the music each other listens to, Bell annoys the hell out of Russell Adler.

UPDATE: I wrote and posted the full first chapter based off of this idea. Here’s the link in case any of you want to check it out:

Snippet:

There were times when you swore your Walkman was cursed or blessed, depending on how you look at it.

After hearing about the numerous noise complaints by your neighbors in the wee hours of the night, Belikov had gifted the Sony Walkman to you at the usual seasonal Cubs’ game you both attended. You hadn’t been able to afford the damn thing with the pay of an entry-level analyst at Langley. Yet you tried to refuse the gift especially since you weren’t quite sure where he had gotten it from. But he simply insisted with his usual laugh as he smiled with his signature blue Chicago Cubs hat on. He still kept that damn thing after all those years.

Dubious origins or not, the timing of the mixtapes it played was...uncanny.

Granted, you made the mixtapes yourself. But the MK Ultra program didn’t give you foresight into the future.

You remembered Lazar laughing amusedly at your musings about that. You swore it was true although perhaps that was the paranoia left over the MK Ultra program.

Yet as you sat patiently at the conference table in Langley, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding that punctuated the ringing silence the Walkman had before it moved onto the next song on your mixtape.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AND YOU’RE TO BLAME-

As the song you had listened to for years after quite literally getting shot in the heart rang loud and clear in your ears, you registered the doorknob turning across the room.

And suddenly, you just knew.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake-” you muttered to yourself, perhaps a bit more loudly than you intended.

Russell Adler walked through that door not a second later.
