Top 3 Spuffy fics I’ve read (Apr 2024)

Bad Idea, Right? by scratchmeout [R]

She can't stop herself from telling him how she feels because, god, when she looks at him her brain goes, "Ah".

Hunger by Sunalso [NC-17]

AU. Spike killed his third Slayer, but Dru was already dust. He's been lost, but when his supper turns out to be more than he bargained for, it leaves him hungry for something else instead. And Buffy? She's just hungry.

Selfish by disco-tea [PG-13]

A year after the collapse of Sunnydale, a grieving Buffy is given the chance to go back and see it all one last time. The catch? She can’t talk to anyone, she can’t kill anything, she can’t break anything or step on a butterfly or sneeze in the wrong place, or she risks unraveling all of time itself. There’s even a fail-safe put in place where if Buffy even comes close to changing anything, a crystal will shatter and send her hurtling back through time. However, the past is not always what it seems, and fate may just have a few things in store for Buffy… AU of Selfless

#buffy the vampire slayer #btvs #spuffy #ficrec #monthly ficrec #even though it was challenge month at EF there were barely any new fics that I enjoyed this month #and I don't want to rec the same 10 old fics every month just because there is nothing new worth reading #so we're downsizing to top 3 fics because I couldn't even find 5 that I actually enjoyed this month :( #I'm really sad about this tbh

A while ago I commissioned the wonderful @yoshitsuno for this regency/Bridgerton inspired piece of Sharp and MC & I received the final piece today! Safe to say this exceed all my expectations & I am so so happy with how this turned out!

Merci, Micah! Your work is absolutely stunning & I am beyond impressed with your skill, talent and dedication. I love this so much & I am so thankful you made all my wishes come true 💗💗

✨ To anyone looking for an artist to commission, I can highly recommend @yoshitsuno ! Her work is absolutely incredible and she’s a wonderful person all around 💗 This was a 10/10 experience - 100% will do it again!! ✨

#catch me not shutting up about this for months now #made all my Bridgerton/regency dreams come true and more #obsessed is an understatement tbh #10/10 would do it again #so so worth it! #can you tell I am obsessed with regency? because fuck #it’s my favourite historical era EVER #the tenderness?? #the looks?? #the overall vibe?? #PERFECTION #hogwarts legacy #aesop sharp #professor sharp #professor aesop sharp #aesop sharp x mc

Public enemy number one is back in town.

#I think it's been about 10 months since I started this comic #it's been sitting as a base sketch in my files for way too long #I could have had an entire child in the time it's taken me to finish this #was it worth it i dont know #you tell me #I also forgot how to do the style I used for the showdown comic #which is the style I was going for #as a continuation #so I had to commit forgery on my own art #so it's not as detailed as the old comic #but I mean you can fill in the blanks #you know where they are #if people are interested I might continue the story #all depends #if the vibes are good #bnha #mha #bnha au #villain!mic #loudspeaker au #eraserhead #shouta aizawa #hizashi yamada #present mic #finally I get to update my masterlist

[oozeandgoo-art]

This is going to sound unexpectedly specific compared to my usual vague-as-fuck questions. Context being: I want money, I cannot commit to doing commissions at the moment and drawing is my only marketable skill.

If you were to buy a character "adopt" - premade design for your use, art by me and no rights retained except to like merchandising that original art - would it be a significant factor in either a positive or negative direction if the art were originally done digitally vs traditionally?

Likewise, if you were to buy a traditionally-drawn adopt, would the inclusion of the original paper-and-ink drawing be a significant benefit to you that you would consider paying more than just "base" price for?

Third, regardless of medium, would you want "scratch" papers where I did the brainstorming before the final concept was finished - this wouldn't be at any extra cost i just wonder.

Fourth, would you prefer a "flat" sale or an auction? (I like buying things at auction-style sales, and it means you might get a cheaper price than i'd normally list whatever it is for, but I am given to understand that my preferences vary from the norm pretty significantly lol) .

Fifth, would TF or at lesat mecha designs be more interesting than non-TF ones or would more general "can use this as any oc for anything" type characters be more appealing?

Ah - sixth and last, do regular ocs appeal more or less than kink/fetish-oriented ocs like "suspiciously wide-hipped lady who just so happens to have a mouth in her crotch" or stuff in that vein lol? I'm not sure I can stop myself from coming up with at least one erotic as fuck design because that's just how my brain works, but it's good to know if i should try and focus on that or leave it be and just focus on concepts that seem interesting enough to get a shape out of.

#i know this is specific. please understand i want to eat good food again. #i am not in Serious Financial Worry i simply cannot afford takeout again. my dad is going to give me money when he gets around to it but #that might be any time between now and the end of the month #and about 80% of the money in my bank account is tapped for rx payments the second i get to the pharmacy so i cant spend basically anything #if you guys respond it'd be a big help #also if anyone is interested - first design im working on is a cordyceps-possessed archer elf lady. #and im thinking to list it for around $40-50 US and +$10 and shipping for the paper version #i get a good deal on shipping these days at least. i should be able to ship overseas for like $15-20 US and not $60 or whatever #eta. LOL. LMAO EVEN. ummmm im probably going to want $200 minimum for this archer design. theres three and a half full color illustrations #here. i detailed LACE. FIVE TIMES. INCLUDING A DIAGRAM #i spent eight hours i want like at least my old rates lol #its a cool ass design though. so its worth it. trust me <- biased #my mailing list as usual gets first pick of stuff like this #so if you want to see it go sign up for that and then come message me and ill forward you a copy of the email i sent htem #if they snap it up im not selling it publicly.

#like minds #murderous intent #like minds 2006 #nigel colbie #alex forbes #nigel colbie x alex forbes #having a normal one 🤡 idk just something small #i mean as much as i love clowning on the fact that 0.2 seconds after nigel took alex to the room #the most insane batshit stuff ever just came pouring from his mouth. 10/10 on the flirt game #it is kind of sad when you consider the idea that nigel sees himself as having no inherent worth outside of being something to be used #i mean he describes himself as the pike in the dynamic; the implement for killing #the weapon; the tool to be used #the idea that his only purpose is to serve as an instrument for someone else to achieve their destiny ? #and that night in the trainyard where he decides the best thing he can do is die so that jack can be born????? #are you listening greg ??? because this is exactly why it would've been better for the movie to affirm nigel as alex's maraclea #take notes greg okay #because if nigel positions himself in the role of maraclea?? then it all falls into place and now you've got this guy who thinks #that the best thing he can do. that the ONLY thing he can do. the reason he was put there in the first place #is to die and help alex become everything he was born to be #i stand by what i said on the earlier post that the night at the train yard was their consummation ..that the birth 9 months later was jack #beyond telling greg he can pry this idea from my cold hands #if he wants me to admit i'm wrong he can fight me for it in the car park of an aldi #sorry to anyone who followed me after the cannibalism web weave but this is a like minds blog first and foremost

i think the point where i knew that recovery was worth it was when my mom said that she was glad to see me smile so often again, that i had stopped smiling for awhile and it made her happy to see me happy

because i never realised how little i had been laughing and smiling and truly living until i had friends and people who made me smile so much that at the end of the day my cheeks hurt and i was constantly laughing with them, instead of being laughed at and just

i didnt realise people could see me getting better

#10 months & 2 weeks clean too!!! #recovery is possible #and so #so worth it #i believe in you <3 #poetry #spilled thoughts #my thoughts #spilled ink #poem #IS THIS MY SIXTY NINETH POST??? #oh my god it is #happy sixty nineth post everyone

#not to be depressing in new year's eve but i feel so shit right now... #all year i've been so out of myself not enjoying anything #and what i do manage to enjoy takes up like an hour of my life and then it becomes disappointing #that's how i would describe the past few months... disappointing #everything feels flat #I can't manage to hold on to a good feeling for more than an hour or two #i have absolutely no hope for the future and I don't even care about that anymore #nothing feels worth anything anymore #and what's really solidifying that feeling today of all days #is the fact that every year since before I was born my family celebrates new years eve #a few years ago the celebrations changed since my extended family decided to cut us out a bit but my mom brother and i still celebrate #we get yummy food play fun games and just spend the night together until midnight when we toast and go to bed #well this year it's 10:30 and we're already in bed doing the same things we do every day #being on our phones or watching a movie or whatever on our own #and it's just disappointing again #idk if it's the break of the tradition or the fact that the new year doesn't feel important this time #but i feel so fucking sad and numb and depressed #i hate it #I don't even feel like saying the usual ''hope 2024 is better'' shit #i just don't care and i don't think it's gonna be better... it's gonna be the same old shit and it's gonna be disappointing #nothing matters anymore and i don't think anyone fucking cares #i feel so numb... #i don't even know what the point of this post is... sorry about that #hope y'all's new years eve is better than mine (or new year's day idk your time zones) #angel talks #personal

first chainmail project complete! it's over so quickly, what on earth do i do now? also showing off the wallet i made out of an old doc marten

[soldier-poet-king]

On the one hand I need to move out or go fully insane, on the other hand my family is like the only social contact I get and maybe the urban loneliness will ultimately kill me faster than putting up with their bullshit

#franposting #anyway. had a metldown. looked at apts for 1 hr. did nothing #sorry work. i promise i will get this done before the due date #also like. is the possibility of saving my brain worth all that money #its not even a guarantee it might tank the brain worse who knows #and maybe ill hate it and be afraid #i dont LOVE the big city i like having things nearby thi #i REALLY hate the urban spraw suburbs #that arent even gentrified bougie burbs #it's poor immigrants like my fam and endless strip malls and inaccessible transit #god. im just. fuck. it rlly is just. not great lately #and im unsure what to do #if i move out. i could get a cat #but devon rex is gonna be a couple k$ #bc im apparently too allergic for shelter mutt breeds #but also. a cat would probably make me not want to kms. maybe #ughhhh i still dont even have my nee contract so idek how much money ill be making #so im just assuming rn that my pay doesnt increase at all #even tho depending on the position and given my expertise i could be making 10-15k more #which is like. lets put rent at around 2k/month. which is insane ik but thats the LOW end in the city #and extra 10k is nearly half the yearly rent (not counting taxes) #what i ACTUALLY need is routine and extra curriculars and getting out regularly #which is near impossible where i live w/out a car #and im already spending 2.5hrs+ daily commuting on transit #im not gonna add EXTRA HOURS to commute time #BC it rlly does take nearly an hour to get ANYWHERE on transit from my parents #and thats being CONSERVATIVE. usually its longer

shows I dropped this year/didn't finish: I barely remember the ones I watched till the very end 🤡 But ok, let me see...

Eve (dropped after one episode; Rich People and their Rich People Problems™, I think was the reason)

A few straight GMMTV shows that I didn't really catch the name (I. Well. I just. I just couldn't make myself give a fuck, ok 😔)

+ Currently deliberating whether or not I should drop Chains of Heart. All the subtitles I've found are lacking in terms of coherence, and the story itself is already not the most straightforward, so I can only hope I'm understanding what's going on at all? 😀 And I'm also not feeling the main couple from either the present nor the past (? I suspect they are the same (but I may never know))... HOWEVER, I like the acting of the main, and the Thai scenario that is not Bangkok for once. That's always refreshing. And sometimes the cinematography is pretty too... Decisions, decisions...

currently listening to: Back for More by TXT & Anitta (I went after the link for it and distractedly searched for "banger" instead of the title 😆)

currently reading: Codename Villanelle (it's a small book but I'm. ..struggle)

current obsession: I'm not obsessing over anything at the moment 😟☹😫 Have been too busy with mundane adult life problems (therefore, as you can imagine, I'm just about going up the walls here :))

It's really strange to me how often angry delivery drivers on tiktok manage to forget that disabled and elderly and poor people exist. "how dare you not tip me 50%+ this is a fucking luxury service! If you don't wanna tip go get it your damn self!" sorry but not everyone can drive or afford to pay 150% of their order price especially since doordash already grossly inflates their prices. maybe don't be a delivery driver.

#vent #personal #I see a lot of incidents of doordash drivers stealing or destroying food to ''teach people to tip'' and then they reveal the person did tip #They just tipped a standard 20% instead of 50% or 100% #Or like instacart shoppers that intentionally get the entire order wrong because of low tips #Like you think you're screwing over rich people or whatever but actually it's usually the disabled and impoverished #So maybe go fuck yourself #Are there selfish people? absolutely #But is ''sticking it to the man'' worth wasting someone's last 10$ for food for that month? Really?

You can tell the user base is aging etc etc but my biweekly delivery of a fresh compost bin fills me with so so much joy. One of the best home delights of the month every month

#listen when you drastically reduce your trash output it feels so fucking good #I also take my trash out less which is awesome #there’s enough waste in the world I try to contribute as little as possible #I just wish my building recycled #if I could do that then I’d have next to no trash and would have to take it out maybe twice a month #but it’s alright this is a great start #and twice a year you’re eligible for ‘free’ compost that they’ll deliver for you :) #for $24 a month it’s well worth the money to me #i usually have 7-10 gallons of compost a month #crazy to think all of that used to just go in the trash 😭
