CHARLOTTE KATAKURI

with an s/o who's a demon!

“my wife is amazing, isn't she?”

mochi man is 100% just purely amazed of you, your beauty, your abilities—damn, everything, hon.

anyhow—on your beauty... kata is kind of smug with this, 'cause, you're the prettiest in totto land, and he managed to make you his.

sometimes flaunts you around with his hand on your waist, pulling you close to him to make others jealous, LMAO.

he's also pretty chill with all this... demon abilities of yours, like the regeneration and blood demon art stuff.

i mean, he literally lives on a world full of creatures with shocking traits and abilities, so it's not a surprise to him anymore.

and lastly, on strength.... we love a strong couple! katakuri absolutely adores your strength, loving how you can manage to defend and attack, like him!

to sum that up, kata admires you real lots, his demoness.

BOA HANCOCK

with an s/o who's a demon!

“...i am still a lot better than you, remember that!”

snake empress is a bit jelly of you, yk? though no one will know about that, she's keeping her thoughts to you to herself.

your beauty... is breathtaking, even for her, leaving her stunned for a second every time she looks at you

BUT OF COURSE, SHE WON'T SHOW, NOR ADMIT THAT, ESPECIALLY TO YOU, NOPE.

moving on to the abilities...! boa thinks that your regeneration ability is pretty handy, and weird 'cause—hello?? your leg just got ripped off, miss ma'am, then you're growing a new one????

low-key amazed by your blood demon art though. you get praises for that sometimes. pretty rare though.

last, strength—for the kuja's, strength is beauty. so she sees you worthy to be her s/o, being strong and beautiful like her.

in summary, a couple that slays together, stays together. xoxo.

NICO ROBIN

“you're truly something, aren't you, darling?”

impressed by you, just by existing there as a demon, her lover.

robin finds you very interesting for having such abilities that is non-human, interesting that she is researching about your kind!

thinks that her hana hana no mi ability and your ability to regenerate, looks, and title are matching and it's cute.

your strength is something she looks up on, being amazed each time you showcase it.

finally, your beauty. GOD, ROBIN PRAISES YOU A LOT BECAUSE OF IT.

don't blame her though, she can't help it, you're just so astonishing!

demon child x demoness best match, fr fr, no cap.

PORTGAS D. ACE

with an s/o who's a demon!

“hey everyone, that's my girl right there!”

proud, very, very proud to have you as his s/o who's level of amazingness is beyond lengths.

when you first showed him your ability to regenerate, ace's eyes widen, visibly shocked—soon amazed like a child watching a magic trick.

loves to watch you use your blood demon art, cuz he thinks it's real cool.

applauses your strength.

will sometimes go and challenge you into a small fight so that he could train with you, ahsahshaha.

and of course, ace, without a doubt, will be set a blaze by your blinding beauty that brings the sun to shame.

same with katakuri, he too, loves and admires your entire being.

So. I just listened to MAG 200, finally finishing the fever dream that is The Magnus Archives, and all I have to say is: Holy shit. Just. Good lord.

Look, I knew it was going to be sad. I've been on Pinterest. But Jesus. I was not prepared. Now I'm shaking and will certainly be curling in the fetal position later, sobbing and screaming into the void. I mean, I'm happy for Basira, Melanie & Georgie of course, as well as our beloved Admiral, but God. Jon and Martin, I love you, you deserved so much better, I see why all your fanfics are fix it. But even just thinking about everyone we have lost, all the characters I got emotionally attached to. Sasha. Tim. Daisy. Michael Shelley. Even thinking about all the avatars (I'm a sucker for a villian, what can I say?) makes my lungs spasm with love and want. I shall miss them all for eternity.

And so ends possibly the greatest experience I've ever had with a fandom, at least until I recover enough to start tmagp. Everything about tma is just pure amazingness. Everything. It's funny how much you can grow to love random people just by hearing them voice act a character and laugh in bloopers. I love them so much, the whole cast. The two blooper episodes brought me more joy than I think I have ever experienced with a piece of media, trumping even the mighty Good Omens, which is saying something (To be fair though, Not with that thong on! and Oh god, I'm knackered, I've been doing all this labelling! would make anyone crack up, although perhaps not continue hysterically giggling for over fifty minutes... They still pop into my head sometimes and I'll just randomly snort in really inappropriate situations because I'm gonna buy some 'ead and shoulders, 'cause I found one on the road this mornin'! and Gertrude's been on the sauce, need I say more? Yes? Alright then,if you insist - Happy little DOORBELLS! FifTy MInUteS eArLY! and Fuck you, Jonny. God, he drags the rest of us down. What a wanker! I could go on, but I feel these brackets have already gotten way longer than they have any business being). I love these strangers more than I love anyone else I've actually met before, except my partner. They are everything to me. And I cannot wait to re-listen to all five seasons yet again, definitely screaming and crying and laughing and screaming while I do so. I have never before listened to and experienced something so perfect. Alex and Jonny, you have legitimately changed my life in all the best and worst ways possible, and I hate you and love you for it. You have my utmost gratitude and admiration, also kindly piss off.

Seriously though, the genuine adoration and idolization I hold for all the voice actors is sort of concerning. VA for Simon Fairchild gets a special mention, as well as Michael The Distortion because how is it possible to fall in love with a person after listening to only their voice for thirty seconds-

#the magnus archives #the magnus pod #the magnus protocol #i can't wait to listen to tmagp #i'm gonna die aren't i #might as well have descended as the fucking messiah because holy shit this podcast saved me #highly recommend #whole experience a cross between WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN #reading memes made the whole thing 20x better #this episode killed me #i am deceased #mag 200 #god i love it so much #tma #tmagp #tma spoilers

This is a valid title

Ok guys. I'm still very much under the curse of writer's block, but (insert curse word here) that, I'm gonna force something out anyway.

When in doubt, use Disney as inspiration!

Why is it so hard to write 8th with words?

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Why is she friends with a fish?"

For the eighth time since Lance has started the movie, Keith makes him pause it to ask dumb questions.

"Ugh, Keith, stop questioning it, it's Disney logic! There are no rules."

Keith raises a brow but quiets down.

When Lance had found out that Pidge has multiple movies downloaded onto the laptop she somehow managed to bring into space, he immediately scoured it for any animated movies.

As Keith's boyfriend, (he can't help but shimmy with joy whenever he realizes that) it's Lance's duty to educate him on the amazingness of DreamWorks, Pixar, Disney, and whatever other studios there are out there.

Lance totally catches Keith eying Flynn Rider when they watch Tangled.

For some reason, Keith easily accepts the idea of magic hair and whatnot, but he can't seem to grasp the idea of talking animals.

The look of scandalized befuddlement (love that word) that crosses the red paladin's face whenever any animal utters so much of a word sends Lance into hysterics.

And when they start singing, he literally lunges over to hide behind Lance with a look of pure terror on his face. Lance can't help but sing along and Keith gaze switches back and forth from him to the computer.

"Aw come on, I thought you would love this! Look, there's snails!"

Keith doesn't even notice Lance patronizing him as his whispers out in a hollow voice, "I ate snails when I was younger. I think they're gonna murder me for my sins against snailkind. They're freaky! They're not bugs, but they're not anything else either."

Keith is staring up at Lance with wide eyes, still cowering against the back of the couch and using Lance as a barrier between himself and the computer.

"You can watch horror, but you're terrified of a show made for children?"

They end up watching Tangled for the 27th time instead and bundle up in a huge fluffy blanket. Keith stays close to Lance's side as if he's scared that killer snails will start sliming out of the vents. When Lance says that out loud, Keith clings impossibly closer and watches the walls around them warily.

Now whenever Lance is absolutely determined to win an argument, he start singing Under the Sea at the top of his lungs.

--------------------------------------------------

Yayyyy I did it!!

meet the incredible @evolvingchaoswitch ‘s OC (well, one of them), avery. avery is the fuckin’ rad owner of a very fuckin’ rad bar. they are a complete badass, and have very sexy arm muscles, hot tattoos, and generally killer looks. (their hair is always some new amazing color and their makeup is pure smoky witchy amazingness.) they are extremely protective of others, especially those they love, especially-especially their two baby half-raccoon kits (honestly kinda wanna draw them too because i can only imagine how fuckin adorable they are). like i said, they’re bad ass, and they strike me as a person that typically won’t start a fight but will absolutely 1000000% end them, especially if someone they love - or someone just vulnerable - is on the line. go check out @evolvingchaoswitch and their amazing a fics (especially those starring avery! ♡♡♡)

thank you for letting my draw my interpretation of avery, friend! they are so impressive & it was so fun to get to play with their rad-as-hell look!! ♡

I Have Good Music Taste >:D

Hi there, hello. I just wanna do a giant music ramble, cos I haven’t done that yet and I have absolutely no idea how. Music is my life, my entire goddamn life. Here are my top ten bands/artists

Silverchair

avenged sevenfold

nirvana

parkway drive

system of a down

green day

slipknot

cavetown

The beatles

Bo burnham

these artists (and many more) got me through the toughest times in my life. A lot of people say this and they express being understood, and I felt that to some degree. I was sad, autistic, and lonely and it was bad through my early teenage years. But there was something else about music, aside from relatability that really struck me. And that was the pure beauty of all music. Every single piece of music from Beethoven to the beastie boys is so stunning and not enough people talk about it. I became a hopeless slave to my love of music, I was infatuated with music theory, with learning every instrument I could get my shaky hands on.

this is all thanks to an alt-rock Australian band from the 90’s named Silverchair. If you’re a middle aged dad from NSW, you know them. If you’re literally anyone else, you probably don’t. But I fell deeply in love with their music. I’ve never felt love as strongly for a single person as I have for silverchair’s music. In fact, I don’t even know if any of the love I’ve ever felt even counts in comparison. Let me rant about them for a paragraph

silverchair was formed in Newcastle NSW in 1994 by a group of literal goddamn 14 year olds. They won a competition with the radio station Triple J and as a reward got to record an EP titled Tomorrow. Instant success. The following year, the band at age 15, released their debut album frogstomp. The album is quite grungey, though bares minimal resemblance to Nirvana (who they were constantly compared to) instead their influences lied in 70’s punk. The album contains heavy drop d guitar riffs, impressive vocals and all round amazingness from a bunch of teens. They brought out four more albums. Freak Show, an album released in 1997 with lyrics surrounding the idea of being a ‘freak’ which is how the band felt after being cast away on tour. 1999s Neon Ballroom, a heartbreaking album written in the lead singer/guitarists bedroom, in complete isolation after having a mental health breakdown. Diorama, 2002, my personal favourite, featuring epic orchestral pieces, vivid lyrics and vocals so beautiful they sweep one off their feet. And lastly 2007s Young Modern, a turn into pop rock while retaining the orchestral properties of their previous album. Silverchair do not have a bad song. They are all beautiful.

all this to say, I will be doing an in depth analysis on my interpretation of every song by every band in that top ten list, starting with silverchair. I would love to maybe introduce some people to some genuinely great bands in the process, so if you’ve read this far, pans you don’t mind, give this post a reblog to share the passion with other music lovers. I would love your input into my analyses and maybe your own interpretations of the pieces of art I hold the closest to me

have a wonderful day :)

[o-uncle-newt]

Forgive me for hijacking my JF fanblog for this, an overly long rapture about Dorothy L Sayers's fabulous Gaudy Night

Or don't, I don't care. But either way, I'll be back to the regularly scheduled programming eventually, not that it was ever very regularly scheduled.

Anyhow-

I love Gaudy Night. One of my favorite books. It's not perfect, but it's brilliant, and that's better. Brilliance is rarely perfect because it requires creativity and an element of risk. Gaudy Night takes risks that don't all work, but when they do they are sublime.

I think the book is purposely messy and layered in ways where you can assume you know what Sayers was trying to say but can also get totally different things out of it. Purposeful in a choose-your-own-adventure way. You can read it as being purely feminist and ignoring class, or you can read it as being about women who are purely feminist and ignore class (to their detriment and ultimately peril). You can read it as Harriet falling in love with Peter or you can read it as Harriet discovering she was always a little bit in love with him. You can read it as being about women who prioritize integrity or you can read it as being about women who have grown comfortable and cloistered from real world responsibilities. And, of course, you can read it as women being cloistered from real life responsibilities or you can read it as female academics being held to a standard of responsibility that would never be expected of male ones. So many things to explore!

Also, it happens to speak to a lot of things I'm going through right now, though more in specific motifs than in the central conflict per se. (In my case, without being too personal, it's mostly the theme of ruminating endlessly over a choice that, once I've decided, will have felt inevitable.) So that kind of feeling of sitting in Harriet's headspace- and what a clearly defined headspace it is!- is pretty wonderful if jarring.

And so much amazingness- the punt? The chessmen?! Placetne domina?!? Yes, even the dog collar, because the way it's used is just kind of perfect. (And my mandatoryish JF reference here- as in my previous (re)blog, I really wonder if the idea for the dog collar in Here's What We Do came from this book. The conceptual resemblance is pretty uncanny.)

And human feelings!! Like, I came away from this book being genuinely unsure if I'd like either Harriet or Peter if I knew them in real life. Harriet is really judgmental in a way that I've never particularly liked in people, and Peter is smug in a way that would get my goat pretty quickly. But they're messy and in this book Harriet in particular feels real (and Peter feels real through her eyes) and messy real people are the most fun to read about. And "intellectual" romances are the best because the people in them think so much and get so mushy. They're really a perfect pair for this sort of thing and are loveable and compelling on their own terms.

(I also think, incidentally, that Busman's Honeymoon is a wonderful book, if somewhat ridiculous in the mystery and village-folk bits, and really underrated as an exploration of the challenge that Miss De Vine gives Harriet as to what happens when two intellects, and independent forces, marry. Where does one give way, and where does one stand firm? And what does it mean once someone has made a decision and feels at peace with it, and once someone has been pursuing something for so long and finally has it? How do they rebalance the relationship now that it is Harriet who, in many ways, has the emotional upper hand? And the ending is a LOT in a really great way.)

Though... I'll take a sec to rant about the miniseries version of Gaudy Night, with the full acknowledgement that I'm far from the first to do so. No chessmen? No dog collar? No Reggie Pomfret? No proposal letter? No St George? The creator sitting down and apparently saying "hmmm, people are OBVIOUSLY fans of Gaudy Night because of the intricate mechanisms of the poison pen mystery"? The way in which Peter is so pushy and off-putting at the beginning, and is the one who brings up the idea of academic women being repressed? The gratuitously edited dialogue? The way that the proposal at the end is portrayed as inevitable rather than the leap of faith that Peter helps Harriet to make? The fact that Peter NEVER APOLOGIZES?! Not even Harriet Walter and Edward Petherbridge save it, and that says a lot, because they're really good in it, even if I always thought that Petherbridge was just SLIGHTLY off as Wimsey (over-mannered and not particularly dynamic, though with great subtle physical comedy)- but Harriet Walter was always spot on and I'm kind of in love with her in this role, or possibly want to be her, I'm never sure (though I'd never pull off the hairstyle).

Though I will say, re the Peter never apologizing bit: the other two miniseries ARE genuinely good, I think- Strong Poison diverges from the book but in interesting ways except for the ending, which I'll get to in a minute, and Have His Carcase is basically as good an adaptation as anyone could have expected and the pacing edits generally work- but I think the whole miniseries run has one uniting flaw, which is that rather than follow Sayers's lead and have the trilogy deconstruct the idea that Peter is trying to wear Harriet down into proposing, the show seems to almost purposely perpetuate it. It's by far the most explicit in the Gaudy Night adaptation, but in Strong Poison, the awful flip of the ending in which it's Peter running after Harriet sets this up as the guy chasing the girl, and the very over the top attempts at compliments and physical affection in Have His Carcase are very irritating, even as the show does a phenomenal job with the argument scene. Gaudy Night only makes it worse, of course, with that cringeworthy scene at the dance and the complete lack of any depth to their relationship beyond what seems like perpetual nudging on his part, culminating in a basically sterile proposal scene that really does feel like he finally managed to wear her down. (I did read that Petherbridge and Walter rewrote it to be better, and I don't doubt that it was much worse originally, but it still is not great.)

Finally, a few random fancasting notes:

I've never really thought overmuch about modern day fancasting, but I feel like Tom Goodman-Hill would be very good as Wimsey. No opinion on who'd play Harriet.

I've also had this feeling that I'd have LOVED to see a British-accented David Hyde Pierce in the role of Wimsey back in the day (of course he's too old now). Would he be pretty similar to Petherbridge? Maybe. But I think that he'd bring something really interesting to the part that I'd have loved to see. Or maybe I just unreasonably love Niles Crane, also a possibility.

I think that if any new version of the LPW books comes out, Harriet Walter should play the Dowager Duchess. She would be absolutely wonderful.

Phew! I just archived all of my asks here and I wanted to personally thank you Bluie for letting me be a part of your awesome anon horde.

This year, I made a resolution to write more. Your blog and everyone on it helps me towards that goal. In January alone I got 8794 words out. Since joining in November (don't ask me how long it took to scroll back there) I've bounced 14,165 words worth of AU's, headcannons, and drabbles around with the other anons.

Hanging out with such incredibly talented people has been a true blessing. We all scream and fawn over the same things, but still have a fun time while sharpening each other's creativity. It's just so... pure.

So thank you again Bluie for hosting an amazing blog and letting us sporelings chatter and thrive here. Thank you for being the kind of mod to leave blurbs on every ask (I know you must get a ton of them and answering every single ask must get tiring, but I can't tell you how much I treasure the excited screams and/or thoughts you leave for all of us) I've made a lot of new friends because of you, and I can't wait to squeal over more fluff, angst, smut, or whatever comes next with you and the rest of the gang!

So here's to February and beyond; may the brainrot be strong and the blockmen be shipped! Cheers!

-🩸

And yes, I'm leaving off anon just this once. Thank you for helping me become more comfortable as both a writer and a human bean :)

QuQ I can and will cry *lays on the floor* I'm genuinely so happy to have created a space for things such as this. And Im SO proud to have helped in some way to get you to start writing again! And I am proud of you for achieving your goal so far! Cuz oh my gods your writing and ideas are SO GOOD! everyone's is too.

Cheers to February and the rest of the year being chalk full of good ideas and more amazingness

Perform

AO3 / FFN

Pairing - Adrinette

Prompt - ‘Perform’

Summary -

Adrien didn't even know where to look! His curious and almost hypnotised eyes tried their best to follow the movements of the incredibly talented and hardworking girl before him. From the elegantly patterned movements of the bright red ribbon being painted in the air like a flame dancing in the darkness to the exceptional choreography that his beloved Marinette performed. The familiarity that struck him from the start of the performance burst back into his being and Adrien couldn't help but note that he's definitely seen these moves before recently.

~(x)~ . . . Entranced. Mesmerised. Enamoured. There were no words in the French dictionary that could ever explain the feelings that Adrien felt exploding like thunder within his chest as his emerald greens sparkled with both pure amazement and absolute awe. His knuckles whitened as he tightened his grip on the rails that surrounded the stage, never tearing his eyes away from the beautiful, wonderful, amazingness that continued to perform before them all. . When Alya originally came into class with a smile that could counter even his alter ego's most cockiest, devilish smirk, the model expected outright mischief or even the latest scoop regarding whatever could possibly be going on between her favourite heroes of Paris. He was too busy moping and pouting over his Princesse's umpteenth registered absence in le collège that week to notice the way her best friend practically vibrated throughout the whole day like a five-year-old on a sugar rush. "Babe? Did you drink a bunch of energy drinks or something in the morning?" "Heheheheh..." "Alya...?" By the time the lunch bell rang, both Adrien and Nino found themselves simultaneously grabbed (or kidnapped) by the enthusiastic journalist and were sped away at unholy speeds to the Porte de la Chapelle Arena without a single word. Everything was just a hazy blur for the feline in disguise. From Alya babbling that they were best friends of one of the trainees inside the building to the sudden whiplash of bright lights and then a dimness as they were brought into one of the training halls by the staff members. . And it was then that Adrien was met with the most beautiful sight he's ever seen in his entire lifetime. .

Adorned in a gorgeous sparkling red costume that accentuated her long, slim legs and her sleek frame, her body poised in a stance that spoke volumes of her flexibility (much to his libido's delight!) as well as familiarity (much to his heart's bigger delight), hair tied up in a simple but effective bun and princess fingers handling the handle of the ruby shaded ribbon was none other than... Marinette. . Suddenly, a loud beep ricocheted within the hall and then the music began to play. As if she did this a thousand times in her sleep and a thousand times in her dream, Marinette began to perform. . Adrien didn't even know where to look! His curious and almost hypnotised eyes tried their best to follow the movements of the incredibly talented and hardworking girl before him. From the elegantly patterned movements of the bright red ribbon being painted in the air like a flame dancing in the darkness to the exceptional choreography that his beloved Marinette performed. The familiarity that struck him from the start of the performance burst back into his being and Adrien couldn't help but note that he's definitely seen these moves before recently. Her long legs were up in the air in a perfect split (just like the move his Lady pulled in order to avoid the lethal maws of the dragon during the last Akuma battle). Her frame repeatedly twirled in the middle of the floor as she spun the ribbon-like the most ethereal ballerina that's ever come to existence (and like his Lady who used that move whilst skating on the ice that the Akuma before the dragon one created, her strong hands using the salt that her lucky charm provided to spray around her all according to her brilliant plan). The fire red ribbon trailed around her being with super speed and outright elegance (which mirrored the ribbons that his Lady wore in her hair as she happily parkoured through the city during yesterday's patrol with him by her side). All the while to the beat and hum of the music, as if the watchers were being taken on a magical journey and the girl herself was the storyteller who painted every single detail with the flick of her dainty but powerful wrist. Exactly like the way his Lady would wield her bandalore. Agreste junior couldn't fathom the scene and his thoughts at all as the two brilliant girls he loves and cherishes more than life itself became one with the brilliant golden spotlight following her every move and allowing her to sparkle miraculously. But, it got better. It got so much better. As soon as the cymbals clashed within the music dramatically, the neat bun on Marinette's head unravelled instantaneously, transforming into a sheet of midnight that virtually sparkled like stars under the brilliant lighting and matched her gorgeous ensemble. She is a living, breathing piece of art. She is his love, his Lady, his Princesse, his amour, his everything. And Adrien found himself wanting to embrace every part of her and never let go. . Soon, the music ended on a very slow yet quite sombre note. The stretch of the violin's chords seemed like it was orchestrated from the dancer's actions rather than being played on the speakers. Marinette's movements became the calm surface of an ocean, the gentle breeze that caressed the sakura blossoms, the tender sunlight that peeked through curtains. The tender caresses that cupped Adrien Agreste's heart. And then, it was the end. . The audience erupted with a mighty applause, everyone cheering and whooping with excitement and joy, the three friends being the loudest of them all. The trio managed to gather Marinette's attention, her shocked and embarassed face clearly indicating that she didn't expect to see them at all. After all, this was merely one of the last training sessions before she participated in the final performance in a few days time. An event she wanted to invite her friends over as a surprise. So seeing them surprise her instead made her heart skip many beats with fondness. When Adrien cocked his head to the side and smiled wider, never losing momentum with his applause, Marinette finally sent a shy grin back to him and then bowed to hide the rose that bloomed in her cheeks. 'And this is why there can be no one who's fit for the Ladybug mantle other than Marinette Dupain-Cheng,' Adrien mused to himself affectionately, eager to get to her as soon as possible and let his Lady know... ...That her Chaton has found her. . . . ~(x)~

What are your thoughts on the sequels? I honestly don’t think there that bad🤷‍♀️ but that’s just me

I will not criticize the people who like them honestly it's just a natter of opinion, and if you like them that's good they were more geared towards new audiences/younger audiences and though I'm not an old audience i grew up with the pure amazingness that was the OT and the PT and they are so authentic because of george lucas and i really just don't like the sequels because disney made them more about getting money than actually staying true to the star wars lore... i like poe and bb8, the dynamic there is cute, but other than that i really cannot stand to rewatch them

[kithtaehyung]

I LOVED HIT;RECORD!!!

The double bj?!?!?!? Dirty af!! So hot!!

I did have a question about one piece of dialogue:

“”Fuck, she liked that.” 

“I knew she would.”

“So predictable.”

“They all are.” 

God, they’re talking about you like you can’t hear them.  And it’s turning you on much more than it should!”

What was meant by whoever said, “They all are?” Did he mean reader’s friends? But later she mentions that none of them have slept with either of them. Did they mean women in general? Was it said in service of the scene? Like general degradation? I figured it’s the latter, and then any other reading didn’t really jive with their caring attitudes toward her for the rest of it to me, but I figured I’d ask! Also, the whole, talking like she’s not there thing was so hot in general!!!! God!!!!

I also loved that even in this more PWP amazingness, I liked seeing readers thought processes about all the feelings things:

“Why is he so different tonight? Does he think you need this level of affection right now? Have you really gotten soft for him or is this the bliss tampering with your feelings? You bite your lip to keep from grinning, flinching when he lightly slaps you before gripping your chin in his wet fingers. 

“Such a pretty whore.” 

Yes. This is better. Stay out of that touchy territory.”

Also, the picture of Yoongi saying “You took all her lip gloss, lemme have this.” was way to damn clear and hilarious!!

Finally, before any smut stuff at all, this passage made me giggle only because of the image it conjured for me:

“”I can tell.” Yoongi laughs, earrings swaying with his shoulder bobs.”

Why did i immediately picture big gold hoops here 💀💀💀💀 had to go back and be like, fuck… no, short silver dangly ones. Maybe i was too sleepy on the first read lol. Will definitely be going back for more. Ofc to make sure I didn’t miss anything, of course…

-🚌

BUSSSS omfg this is.. hold on let me collect myself!

ok ok i'm ready. they meant women in general sdklfsd they were just being little shits bc they knew reader would like that :'))) but yeah the rest of the time they were just saying "her/she" instead of in general. i think her sucking the soul out of both of them did something to warrant that LMAO i want them to talk as if i'm not there :(((( why can't this be MEEEE

yes! i don't think i can write a pure pwp without feelings hahaha i love weaving in all the little details even if it's a one-shot! thank you so much for noticing and point that out.. especially the yoongi part!

AHAHAH YES the lip gloss line! he just wanted a taste :(( and the imagery of the earrings! the gold hoops I CANTTTT omfg let's imagine this reader wanting to see what gold hoops would look like on him and him being reluctant but begrudgingly going along. now i'm just mush.

oh yes... have to do another read through for.... research purposes yes yes...... (thank you so much for reading!! i love your commentary as always you're amazing!)

#i love this! #thank you so much for reading<33 #🚌 anon #asks:hitrecord #hit;record #lovely people #*ryenfictalk #mailbox💌

The glory of you

I can't forget you. You are the most splendid thing under the sun. Of course, many things are hard and you cannot ever replace the pure sunshine of crazy existence in the last analysis, but there is something cool about your calm demeanor and your wise resistance against bad things. You are truly a master-mind of ordinary resistance, everything you take up turns to gold. Your power is infinite, your work is splendid, everything you do is splendid, I adore you. Maybe there is something wrong about the way I address you: in that case, I apologize. But I am just so overcome by awe for your crazy worth and mighty work and happiness, everything you do is mighty and amazing and I just really need to say this again and again and again, until something changes in the fabric of the universe to centre itself on you and may you shine and radiate in glory and beauty. I can't put you away. You are addictive beyond reason, everything I associate with you is great. Your work is amazing, your deeds are good, everything you do is good. But I see, that there is something I have yet to cover in my aubade: the simple things. Your name, your clothes, the way you move. Everything is perfect.

We can't let the disasters of everyday put us down. Sure, it's good to mourn for a while, but there's more on the horizon, your best days are yet to come and you don't see it: you got to get out more! Positive thinking will get you very far: it will get you over the ridge and out of sight! There's much work to be done.

I have been to Paris. Not everybody is your friend there, but it is a cheerful town with many cultural people, who will cry for your tragedy and laugh at your comedy. Life is both a tragedy and a comedy, and the hilarious parts are often the most tragic parts. But there is a lot of things to do and we don't know half of what is going on in the world, everybody just moves around and there is no way forward, except of course the mean old dirty road of cruelty. But cruelty is not going to get you to heaven, so to speak, and we all gotta get to heaven. Writing is both a philosophical and a temperamental affair. This mostly has to do with the fact that a lot of writing is just filler. This is a horrifying reality, that we must somehow free ourselves of. A good writer, obviously, doesn't really write filler. But of course, the art of writing filler is a good art. You can't write the way you speak, or even if you could, it wouldn't do you much good. I don't know. I suppose the internet just isn't the free place it ought to be. We free ourselves: writing is a struggle. We write uphill. Not very strategic. I gotta read Sun Tzu again. Anyway, I don't know. I don't know what the work really is, the work of writing. Being a writer is not as free as being a postman or a call-centre employee. There is a great deal of things that we can do, but none of them are very fun to the writer. The writer is just confronted - all the time - with horrifying limitations of time and space, and he can do many good things with his time, but there is nothing to be done about being in the here and now, and so on and so forth. I just want to say: you're amazing. I have seen so many great things and it is all terrible, but the great things that you have done have gotten me out of my mind and I really like you now and there's something unusual about your simplicity and honesty that always comes by to help me see the truth about your amazingness again and again. And furthermore, I love you. The things that I saw in your originality are prudent and official, but they were nothing in the vast context of your original necessity that made me realize how prudent and official your ordinary habit was in the vast entirety of the world, that made me see how simple and how ordinary your happy existence really was: I love you, and you are amazing, that's all I got to say.

Aw thank you so much! I’m writing this before coffee so I know that it’s not going to be the most comprehensive list (most of the time I just scroll through the Greta Van Fic Tag cause there are always new things) but here are writers with amazing Masterlists:

My queen @garbagevanfleet - I read Gemini like once a week because 🥵 & I mean cmon everything she writes is like pure gold

@tripthelight-fanfic - I feel like every emotion possible when I read these fics

@jakekiszska - just takes you to another world

@ghostly-luck -the imagery in those fics *chefs kiss*

@godlygreta - I have no words to explain how good those fics are

@gustingirl - always makes my head spin in the best way possible

@hyperfixated-gvf - the spice, the heat, the amazingness

@joshkiszkas - 50 Wordless Ways to Say I Love You makes me cry

@fandomtrumpshate made a post about the amazingness of fan labor and encouraged content creators to share a bit about how fantastic it is, so here we go 😎

Beta reading

I tend to edit my fics several times over before ever posting them, and have been blessed to offer beta help for others, because sometimes no matter the genuine effort - you just miss things, especially if you've read the same thing over and over again. A beta can really lend a fresh pair of eyes on things and catch something small, or big, and really help shape a story into something more cohesive that can reach even more people - because what's lovelier for a writer than to know their fic made its way to someone who felt seen/validated? The message becomes more clear if people aren't distracted by repeated grammar errors (one little caveat though, do not fret if you've edited something five times and a mistake still slips through, it happens to all of us and I can personally attest I have never hit backspace over a misspelling on someone's fic over that lol).

Culture-picking

I joined The Old Guard fandom in August 2020, and have been blessed and amazed by all the resources shared to try to remain as culturally sensitive as possible to the international characters 🙏🏻❤ Reading various posts, and the links shared within, allows me to add more depth to the characters outside of the cultures I myself was raised in, both with my writing and my art. Between these, and my own theological studies, I really felt honored by opportunities to chat one on one with people and exchanging information to broaden each other's views and hopefully that is reflected in my fandom engagement (second caveat, there is no way to make everyone happy and offend no one - we are simply too varied person to person - but by knowing you invested time and energy in an effort to be culturally sensitive, you at least can be assured that your intents were pure, and that counts for something).

Sensitivity reading

This probably goes hand in hand with the above as well, but my personal experience was having people I could further discuss various aspects of the day to day life with both Muslims and LGBTQ+ folks. I myself am aspec, but my lens is framed differently in that I'm a Christian CIS gendered heteroromantic woman - and though again, there is no way to satisfy everyone, I wanted to at least strive not to be woefully ignorant and inadvertently feed stereotypes. Being able to discuss with multiple people about day to day things - beyond what you might try to gleam from say, an academic article about the theological aspects of Islam, or statistics around a study about LGBTQ+ issues - has only helped me grow further as a person, as well as (hopefully) add to the content I create (third caveat, there is a difference between telling a story that is not yours to share, and writing about characters finding acceptance and safety with the people around them which can resonate with readers. Always be humble first, and accept that we all bring biases that we must unpack at any given time, and be open to growth and learning. Again, there's no way to satisfy everyone, but it is our responsibility to learn along the way, and I for one am grateful for the people who were willing to share with me).

So there ya go, some of my personal experiences with the lovely fan labor that people bring into fandom ❤

These, and more, options will be available within the auction itself - which opens on the 23rd, but browsing period starts tomorrow! There will be ~100 plus fan labors of various needs featured, so if you've been debating tapping into this vital resource, please do consider this as a gentle sign that also benefits so many lovely causes 🥰

When people ask why states without tegus are looking to ban them? This. This is why. They are unstoppable. They’re incredibly adaptable. In addition to being able to survive winter conditions almost a thousand miles north of their northernmost invasive range, they can also elevate their body temperatures to deal with cooler non-winter conditions. This defies what we know about pretty much every other lizard, and they can just... do it. Because they’re amazing.

But that amazingness comes with a price. Here in the US, we’ve finally woken up to the reality that this is an invasive species with potential to really spread, and several state governments are scrambling to ensure that it doesn’t happen. Most legislation intends to just ban keeping the animals in states where they could establish or already are established, but the problem is that much of this current/future legislation regarding tegus is really insufficient. It either doesn’t do enough or it does way too much and either way doesn’t actually do anything meaningful to prevent the spread of this invasive species. But people thinking they have some kind of constitutional right to keep as many tegus as they want isn’t helping. If I have to see one more person spouting anti-gun control rhetoric about a lizard, so help me god I will scream. I will.

Honestly though, I think that the state bans are only going to continue. I’m not foolish enough to think that any of the state governments are doing this out of a pure concern for the states’ biodiversity. Aside from what tegus can and will do to endangered species (eat them. they will eat them.), there is a serious bottom line economic consequence to their spread. There’s plenty of evidence that these guys are a serious threat to agriculture, and the exotic pet industry isn’t comparatively big enough for any government to take seriously if the farmers are complaining. Which they will. You know what they call tegus in Venezuela? El lobo pollero, the chicken wolf. They are just that good at sneaking into chicken coops and going for the eggs. They cooperate to do this. And at the end of the day, exotic pet owners’ privileges will be sacrificed for economic protection for US agricultural interests, because that’s how the economy works.

Which is a shame because I do think there is a viable compromise. Perhaps something like this could actually work: 1: Establish FDA licensing for tegu breeders, the same as you have to do if you breed several other exotic species. Licensing would need to include enforceable containment policies and state inspections. 2: Mandate PIT tagging or microchipping for pet tegu owners and enforce legal penalties if there are escapes. This could range from a fine to being disallowed to own a tegu. 3: Figure out a more practical way to do culls of the invasive populations. (This is going to be very hard in the Everglades due to the impassibility of much of the area, but in places with sparser vegetation, tracker dogs trained on the eggs/nests could probably help a great deal with this.) 4: Stop mass imports. The imports are a huge problem. I think they’re actually a much bigger problem than the breeders for two reasons. First, the sheer numbers of imports is a problem. Between 2000 and 2010, more than 79,000 tegus were imported to the US. That’s a lot. We already know that the first and largest invasive tegu population can be traced back to a single importer. We already know that the invasive pythons can be traced back to an importers’ warehouse that was damaged in a hurricane. Limit the market to breeders who are willing to go a step beyond for good containment, and you limit the number of animals being produced. This also limits the number of people who can buy them. If cheap imported reptiles aren’t readily available, you’ll have fewer people impulsively buying them and then releasing them when they get too big or too much trouble. Ban the imports and you solve part of the problem. Now, granted, pet owners releasing their animals isn’t really a huge issue. Most released pets die pretty quickly. But even though it’s not the biggest part of the issue, it is still an issue.

Ideally, tegu owners would be educated enough to buy only from good breeders with good biosecurity practices, take one out of the swamp, or take in a rescue. Ideally, tegu breeders would be more sensible about protecting their businesses by complying with state FWS standards and by taking a more proactive approach to containment. Tegus are burrowers and escape artists, and if tegu breeders who do outside housing would keep that in mind more seriously, there ARE things they could do to actually prevent escapes on their end- things like you do for wild canids. It might be more difficult to sink a fence a few feet or lay a concrete pad, but is it worth it to protect your ability to breed and keep a species you love?

At the end of the day, a lot of exotic animal laws in the US don’t make a lot of sense. They often come too late to actually prevent a tragedy or ecological disaster, and they rarely do enough to prohibit actual irresponsible behavior. We have hard scientific data that demonstrates that tegus really could become invasive throughout much of the southeast US, and with climate change pushing tropical and subtropical climatological zones north, their potential range is only going to get larger.
