Played through fgo Shimousa chapter recently, cannot believe there isn't more art of these two, despite how much it talks about how he manipulated and broke her, so I did it myself.

Hello!
I saw this show back at Fringe and it haunts me to this day.
I cried over a show where everybody was wearing wheelies. Amazing.
If you wanted to do a revival (I want you to do a revival) would you consider doing at at a show at a local geek convention, like CONvergance? I think it would go over really well there, and I would love to see it again.
Hi @leebrontide! I'm grateful/sorry KamehameHamlet has been haunting you for nearly a decade. But genuinely, thank you. I shared your review/reblog with the director, Shalee, and it meant a lot. I have a bit more to say about that, but I'll save it for the very end because it has mild thematic spoilers and well, this blog only exists because most people haven't seen KamehameHamlet... yet. As for your question, I've been planning to share my thoughts about a full production revival at some point, so I hope you don't mind me diving in.
To respond to your question about a proper revival:
In the grand scheme of possibilities, I haven't written off a revival production. However, we would want to make sure it is accessible via recording, and if we're putting recorded staged theatre into the world, we want to make sure the recording is professionally captured and edited. I haven't done the research, but my gut estimate is that it would be a pretty penny. Additionally, a goal across the revival project is to make sure we are ethically supporting any artists involved. Put together, this means a revival production would require significant funding on top of other logistical elements. This isn't to say it isn't a goal, but I don't see it as something we would be able to achieve this year. that said I believe one of the magic things about theatre is the nature of works to be produced by different people who each bring their own passion and points of view. This is why I'm exploring options for making the script available for others to put on their own productions. I've had at least one person reach out about possibly submitting KHH to a Shakespeare festival, and I read a handful of reblog tags where folks mentioned wanting to perform it at the schools, etc. and that really excites me. It would be my dream to see this performed across the world so everyone would have a chance to support live and local theatre. Some runs will be great, some will be bad, and some will haunt you for a decade, but that's theatre! To bring this back to the topic of a revival, I'm working on a post to share tomorrow. But I'll tease it here. While a full production isn't likely anytime soon, we are working on a staged reading with the original cast and director for this year. This will be available to watch online! Finally, (or well, finally before we talk mild spoilers) since you brought up Convergence I'm really really curious if you learned about our play because of the flyers we put up at Convergence the week or so before our show. We made a handful of different flyer designs, printed maybe 100 copies and plastered the double tree. I'll share the others in an upcoming archival post but here's my favorite!
Tumblr media
Mild thematic spoilers for KHH below!
Tumblr media
^Lee's reblog/review for context!
Once again, thank you for the kind words and I really want to shout out Shalee here. Her direction excavated the themes of pretend/play violence that I'm really glad resonated so well with you. And speaking with her, I know it's inspired by playing DBZ with her friends outside as a kid. While this POV might not always be present in my dream of endless productions, I'm certain if she gets a chance to direct it again, it will be at the heart of that production. And if we get a chance, we'll be sure to save you a seat.

So! I finished my first playthrough of Andromeda Six a couple days ago and I enjoyed it a lot! I had a lot of fun going through the story and I'm really excited for the next chapter even if it's probably gonna be a while till it's out-
I really wanted to ramble about the game here on tumblr so I thought that just for fun I could make a list about what I liked and didn't like about the game! The list will be under the cut :)
DISCLAIMER Just in case: This is in no way meant to be some objective/critical review about the game this is literally just meant to be me rambling my opinion sooo don't take this too seriously. Also story spoilers!!!
Alright the things I liked!!:
The Main Story: I'm a sucker for fun space sci-fi adventures with spcaeships and planets and aliens etc etc especially when the main characters are a group of vagabond rouges (with found family sprinkled in :>) so that was an immediate eye catcher for me. Also the fact that the plot is a "Lost heir has to take back the throne" type deal was really cool too, a little cliche? sure but I never take that as a bad thing
The Characters: Pretty much every single character was a delight to see in action, June was probably my favourite character out of everyone (even though I didn't play his route lmao-) followed closely behind by Vexx and Damon. The entire A6 crew were so fun to watch interact and talk and I always found myself wanting to see more of them. The only character I could say I didn't like was Zane, but everyone else was really fun!
The Art: Not much to say here, the arts just really nice, I wanna see if I can find the main artist on social media somewhere. The backgrounds especially are beautifully done
The 'Nerissa is Alive!!' reveal: After looking through the tags for A6 I saw that this specific plot twist was a bit of a hot topic among the fandom so I thought I'd share my opinion on it too. For the most part, I liked the reveal! I mainly love the fact that the reveal gives way to more drama regarding the MC and their future and how they can decide if they want to immediately revert back to their status as royalty and work alongside their older sister to restablish the monarchy, or decide they think the monarchy was kindas shitty even when Zovack wasn't in charge and they'd rather get to be their own person with the A6 crew. I'm really hoping that choosing to do the latter (which is what I did) leads to a lot of tension between the MC and Nerissa, possibly even a huge fight (Siblings to enemies even?? that would be amazing imo). Overall I think the plot twist could lead to a lot of cool stuff and I'm eager to see what Wanderlust Games does with it
And now onto things I didn't like:
Some of the Writing: Yeah... Honestly even though I enjoyed the game and it's story there's a couple things about the writing I didn't like that much. I won't list everything I found iffy but my biggest gripe is that the game has a lot of tell don't show, don't get me wrong I'm no writing master and it's not the worst thing in the world, but the moments where the characters would just info dump their entire life story in a conversation kinda irked me a bit, I wish we could learn the characters individual stories in a different way
The Pacing: I get that this is a small team limited to a 10 chapter story but tbh I wish the story could've moved just a tad bit slower so we could spend more time in each planet since it feels way too quick and we get limited to only seeing one small part of an entire planet. I also understand that there were probably both out of story and in story reasons as the why we only got to spend such a short amount of time on certain planets, but still, I just kinda wish we got to stay in one place for a bit longer
The Character Design: Okay, so for the most part I think the character designs are all pretty good, I like the clothes and how everyone feels very distinct from one another, overall the game has good character design. It's just that... in my opinion... the designs for the alien species..... are SO DAMN BORING!! The Tilaari I think looks fine even if I think they'd look more interesting if they had at least one alien feature like extra eyes or horns or something, other than that though they look fine. The Kithalpha though... oh my god.... I went into the game reading the description and expecting to see some cool mix of fish and human but instead I get the most bland alien design ever, it's literally just a human but with gills! I didn't even notice there were Kithalpha characters!!!! The game had to tell me that Ayame and the green guy were Kithalpha!!! Other than that I would've never known!!! And that's terrible!!!! (Not to mention that if I'm remembering correctly the game doesn't even say once that Vexx was part Kithalpha, I had to find that out from the Dev's twitter) I'm not even saying that they had to look like some monster alien creature of the black lagoon type thing but the Kithalpha characters couldve had just something anything that made them more distinct! Give them fins or scales or a tail heck ANYTHING FISH RELATED!!!! THEYRE DESCRIBED AS HUMANOID CREATURES WITH THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT BUT WE JUST GOT HUMAN + GILLS????? I was so dissatisfied with how boring the Kihtalpha looked that I actively gave my MC more inhuman features despite them being a Kithalpha, fuck the canon Kithalpha look my MC's gonna be a special little snowflake and the devs can't stop me
And Lastly, The 'Nerissa is Alive!' Reveal: So... Yeah. While I do like the twist itself cause of the possibilities, I'm gonna be honest I do agree that the set-up/execution was pretty shit. I don't wanna harp on this too much because this can be fixed as the game updates and gets completed, but still the twist ends up making things feel confusing or downright pointless in hindsight. My biggest annoyance was how literally in the episode right before the reveal we literally get a whole explanation from Vexx describing how he shot and killed Nerissa, like he literally told us how he held the body and saw all the blood but then one episode later surprise Nerissa is doing just fine, there's not even an explanation as to how she survived that (I think I read somewhere that apparently the devs said she was shot through the heart?? Idk if that's true but if it is I- How the fuck did she survive that????) we're just told that K just took her and dipped. Again, this is stuff that can be fixed later on, but it's still kinda annoying
----------
Aaaaand that's about it! Again, don't take this as a critical review, despite my gripes with the game I do still genuinely enjoy it
I'm probably gonna ramble about the game some more in the future, mainly about my MC cause damn did I fall in love with and hyperfixate on him so hard as I was playing. Honestly I'm kinda inspired to create a mini rewrite of the story from my MC's proper perspective without the VN's limitations kinda like how the tumblr account andromedasix did that with their MC

"The Fallen and The Flying."
Tws: Mentions of G0d, Christianity, Angst in some parts, SPOILERS FOR LESSON 16 & LESSONS 44-70.
Mc is An Angel that lived in the Celestial Realm before and after the fall of the brothers. Mc is Male in this but it's barely mentioned so. Yeah.
Also belphie isn't in the attic bc that boring. 😍
Might be a series if i find my motivation. <33
ALSO THIS ISN'T PROOF READ sksjsjf
Genre: Fluff, Angst
Mc: Usually only uses the term "you", "yourself", etc. But Mc is explicitly Male because.. There's not enough Fluff&Angst Male Mc out there and I'm starving.
Tags: Angst, Fluff, Angel!Mc, Obey Me!, Before The Fall, After The Fall, avatar of virtue!mc, M!Mc, male reader x obey me!
Inspired by this comment on: https://jaeheewillalwaysbemyfav.tumblr.com/post/680632946698354688/non-lilithmc-being-a-very-tired-very-stressed
Tumblr media
As an Avatar of Virtue, You were up there with the big dogs.
Lucifer, Avatar Of Humility..
Mammon, Avatar Of Charity..
Leviathan, Avatar Of Kindness..
Asmodeus, Avatar Of Chasity..
Beelzebub, Avatar Of Temperance..
Belphegor, Avatar Of Diligence.
Lilith, Avatar Of Hope.
And you.. You were the Avatar Of Fortitude. And clearly.. you were a lovely avatar for that role.
Fortitude was something you certainly understood. Micheal always made you collect all his paperwork and complete it. Lucifer barely let you help, he had too much humility to ask for help, it was tough.. but You were the Avatar Of Fortitude. You could survive.
Then.. The Celestial War Happened.
The Celestial Realm was thrown into turmoil. Millions of brothers.. sisters and siblings, all thrown into war none truly wanted to fight.
Lucifer and His Brothers along with Lilith fought until the rebellion was brutally crushed under the once kind god's hand.
As far as you knew.. They were dead. Possibly decimated. But once some of the warlike hate grew low, You learned Lucifer had become Diavolo's right hand man.
Lucifer. The Once Avatar Of Humility Was Now So pridefully charged.. he was unrecognizable. His third set of wings ripped off. Only leaving two longing sets of wings plastered onto his back. The pain he felt was unmeasurable, and you.. avatar of Fortitude knew that it was.. reflected in his actions.
Mammon. The Once Charitable Angel that barely had anything in his pockets or his palms was now so greedy that it sickened you. His childlike innocence of wanting to give away everything he owned was now gone. Replaced with nothing but ever wanting more.
Leviathan. The Kindest and most passionate of the angels was now something unrecognizable. He was hateful and spiteful, envious of everything he could have instead of what he already did. It pained you to see such a kind angel lose what they were held so dear for.
Asmodeus. The Angel that never asked for nothing, Chasity holding him tight within it's grasps.. the desires he never had or could have wanted was something so monstrously lustful that it made you long for the sweet childlike innocence he had once owned for himself.
Beelzebub, The Angel that held his temperance locked closed.. once filled with such he never had wanted to be so.. gluttonous. Was now the thing he never wished to be true, such a monster that he could never be truly full.. ever again. The curse placed over him caused you to feel his pain, watch as he could do nothing but eat to barely satisfy his hunger.
Belphegor, The angel that was always excited and yet so very passionate about everything he held dear, His family being one of the top most priorities was nothing like it. He lost all his passion and excitement. He never wanted to lay down, he always was excited to play. And yet.. he had become too slothful to be able to tell anyone. The angel that always hopped around you, barely able to hold in his excitement for telling you about the humans he saw with Lilith was barely able to open his eyes anymore.
Lilith, The Hopeful angel she was.. the cause of this. She hoped and prayed to her heavenly father for someone to truly love. She found him, a human that seemed to be having some trouble. She had befallen to the worst mistake..
Love.And she payed the price for daring defy her fathers teachings. And your hope for her to live, slowly died out as the search for her never came to light once again.
The only virtue left. The only avatar that needn't be replaced. The one that couldn't help in the fight.
You.
After the War had come to a close, even during and before it.. you had stayed strong in your virtue. The only God given right to you now was being able to stay, even during the war. You were never knocked down like simeon or hunted like the brothers. You were still.. The Avatar Of Fortitude.
Millennium passed by now, The Demon King Slept beneath the grounds of The Devildom. The Heavenly Father controlled The Celestial Realm like a puppet playing with it's dangling limbs, You were now stuck as Micheal's Right hand man. But you heard.. something.
Apparently.. Not only did the brothers fall losing all their grace.. they became the one thing they didn't want to be. The opposites of their virtues.
Not only that.
Satan, Avatar Of Wrath ruthlessly was born into the world through the wrath and hatred of The Heavenly Father Lucifer contained deep within his soul.
And it broke your barely holding on heart.
Not only that.. It seemed they had.. completely forgotten about you. The one they went to for help.. although Lucifer needed a little pushing. You were the Avatar Of Fortitude.. Weren't you? You could handle this.. couldn't you?
Had the angels you had once held so dear finally become true.. demons?
This.. hurt. It pained. It was soul crushing. It was something that couldn't be painted with words.. even by the most wonderful artist.
And then.. Micheal tells you something. After centuries..
The Next Demon King, Asks of you to join.. a.. wait.. what?
An Exchange Program?!
Well.. You Certainly weren't expecting this. Being told that Simeon, and your beloved adopted son, Luke.. well.. not yet but don't tell micheal.
They had to go to the Devildom.
The.. DEVILDOM!
No! Absolutely not! You refused to let them down there, but.. Simeon stopped you. You were told that Micheal and Diavolo had agreed upon it.
You had no power over it. But you were still sour about it. So you.. may or may not have asked Simeon to wear something showing.. a little more skin then usual. Luckily he liked it.
After a year, You were extremely happy to hear from Simeon and Luke once again. And Luke kept mentioning
"Mc! Lucifer and His Brothers won't stop calling me a Chihuahua! I'm not a Chihuahua!"
The small boy had exclaimed to you as soon as he got the chance. And you were.. surprised to hear those names again. Of course, as the Avatar of Fortitude, You kept quiet.
"ah- Luke, don't let them get to you.. you aren't a Chihuahua.. maybe a little bit but still."
You'd say into the DDD you were given by Solomon to keep in touch with Simeon and Luke.
"Mc!! Don't tease me!"
Luke exclaimed again, before suddenly.. you felt like his mood dropped. Something was.. on his mind. After about 10 minutes, waiting for him to hang up or.. say something. He finally did..
But you weren't sure if you liked it.
.
.
.
".. will you ever come down here?"
.
.
.
.. of course he'd ask that.
Who wouldn't?
You were the Avatar Of Fortitude. The only Avatar Of Virtue that wasn't being replaced or already replaced. You were the only one for the job.
"maybe.. someday."
You said as Luke made a happy hum and hung up.
Of course Luke would ask.
He adored Lucifer and his brothers when they were still angels. Luke was still practically an angeling. He was so small.. and he wasn't able to process it. He was only around 200.
You remembered it well.
..
Maybe you will join them.
Even if.. they didn't remember you..
You could still be there. Be there for Luke and Simeon, so..
When Micheal told you that you were allowed to join Simeon, Luke and Raphael down in the Devildom. You were excited, which wasn't a very common thing for you, especially due to all the work that had to be done for Micheal.
But then you realized there wouldn't be any room in Purgatory Hall.. And then you realized you were screwed.
You had to stay in
"The House Of Lamentation"
What.. a ridiculous name.
Tumblr media
Well.
This is quite awkward, luckily you had already transformed into a more... "Human" looking angel, much like Simeon. Sheathing your beautiful wings. Of course..
But..
Lucifer, Avatar Of Pride. He didn't have to Introduce you to anyone. You.. KNEW everyone. Well.. Maybe except Satan.
But you weren't too keen to speak to The Avatar Of Wrath.
Afterall.. You doubted that he would be interested in speaking to an old guy like yourself.
So.. You met with everyone, not really making much of a difference.
Even by seeing them in this state.. made you spiteful. But you kept quiet.
Like the good.. Avatar of Fortitude.. you were.
Of course.. When Mammon realized he was tasked with "protecting" you.
He reasonably freaked out a little.
Who wouldn't?
But...he was odd.
He was.. flustered? Was that the word for his cheeks getting pink? Or was it just hot in the Devildom? In fact..
Why were they staring at you like that?
______________________♪♪♪♪♪♪♪__
"Well, At least they were happy." - you said before you realized what.. truly happened.
Happiness was.. an odd thing. Happiness can be shown or not shown.
Smiles may hide Malicious Intent.
Frowns may hide the true adoration for someone.
And staring.. staring is what Lucifer and His Brothers were doing at this moment.
Looking at your outfit, your hair, looking for differences.
Atleast that was what you thought they were doing.
But the way they looked at you.
It made it seem like it was..
attraction.

Good afternoon! I have been your subscriber for a long time and wanted to ask... Do you have any updates and work on the Battle Priest??? I miss the characters from this project very much and I can't wait for a comics or a novel with them! (sorry for possible mistakes, I'm not an English speaker)
Hullo and thank you for sticking around so long AND aaaaaaa I am so happy you are excited for BP :D I have indeed been working on it when I can (though with a full time job my time and inspo is sometimes severely lacking |D)! At the moment a good 80% or so of the story is plotted out and I got bored of writing dot points and so also started thumbnailing on the side lol. Now if I can just keep it up!! OTL
Here’s a sneak peek in the face of my generally doing things quietly in the bg XD;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes I have this aforementioned little webcomic I’ve kinda been pottering away at XD It’s not out or anything yet though.
Tumblr media
I think that’s partially due to Tumblr being rather bad at searching for stuff and that yes it is a little disjointed at the moment! |D (there is a BP tag on my blog which might be helpful though). I can’t really put that much about BP out yet since like a bunch of stuff I actually want to draw are IN the story and so I’d just end up spoilering a lot of it lol, so what I DO put out might be somewhat random. You can of course still ask questions about it and if I can answer it without spoiling something I will :)
I’d love to just ditch the first few pages at everyone since I’ve finished thumbnailing them and could actually start drawing it, but I’ve learned it’s so much better to have a good bank of pages so alas, we’re all gonna have to continue being patient whilst I thumbnail/work on it 😭
Tumblr media
It technically doesn’t have one (I have consciously not made much ref to an actual date lol), and exists in one of those AU timeframes where some things from different years got shoved together. An example being the tech is reminiscent of the 90s but then there’s also some fashion from the 2000s etc.
Tumblr media
In the lore of BP, there are technically (love that word lol) no angels so canonically this would be a moot point lol. IF angels were a thing, any mixed race would have the free will to either be good or bad (like the demons), and it wouldn’t affect much other than maybe they might have their own special abilities that could counter the demonic ones (like how priests do).
Tumblr media
🤔 Hmmmm if i had to pick just one as a main it might be like (and this is expressing as opposed to receiving):
.D: Acts of service
Izm: Gift giving
Marcus: Quality time
Zeke: Acts of service (specifically, cooking)
Wei Ren: Words of affirmation
Rire: ...uh...i’m gonna say quality time
Tumblr media
Well, a satanist would not be sanctioned as a battle priest so if there is one they’d have to be worshipping in secret cos that would get them unsanctioned pretty quickly. .D and the gang would be like wat. Rire would be like well...this is unexpected. I will let you imagine the tone that conveys XD

sketch time
you will sit down. you will look at my horrible little women. And You Will Appreciate Them
no this is NOT going under a cut you will see the blood sweat and tears i put into belialah's demon form and you will appreciate it, me, and saskia's off the charts world class monsterfucker status
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we got saskia. we're familiar with saskia--or at least you should be. go look at the art by korppipoika and give them so many notes--this post will wait. and while you're out, look at the post about the matriarchs too. and if you're not up to date on saskia and belialah, here's another one for your list. i'll be here when you get back.
up to date? excited? horny? me too!!
so we got those two. in order for the images: saskia (recent), belialah (first draft, still happy with this and haven't been able to capture this vision since)
we got their dynamic:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
saskia being a bitch and belialah being, despite everything, head over heels. still can't quite nail belialah's human face, but we're learning
...it took me a long time to nail down belialah's demon form. it went through a lot of drafts---many of which i am not sharing. this one is the oldest one i'm willing to share:
Tumblr media
i believe this is draft 3? patch notes from earlier drafts: 4 fingers instead of three, took out "humanoid" eyes, added floaty halo bits. other than that, this is what it's mostly stayed true to. chase gave me an inspo and i remixed it and made it worse because i love body horror. so we have this! extra joint between the wrist and elbow, loads and loads of eyes, sharp teeth (yum!), wings, and a broken halo plus the big horn. love her. she has spider legs below her waist--she has "skirts" that are made from her skin that she usually wears (has?) over them.
made some eensy sketches for ideas:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i tinkered on size, proportion, posture, etc. it's vague, but not exact for either of them. i want a bigger height difference and this is for me first and foremost
i settled on this body type for saskia:
Tumblr media
no nipples so she's not naked :) this is for anatomy reference, tumblr. ANATOMY. be so nice to me ;-;
ignore the stuff at the edges, this is part of a larger project idk if i'll finish where i look at all the matriarchs and their body types. saskia is the most...well, besides ethalind, the most hourglass shape. this is the most recent drawing of her i have besides the one at the very end, this is the one i would say is most canon. hence why it is included--the last one i have doesn't quite hit right for me. still working on consistency.
as i improved my art, i wanted to take another stab at belialah. which meant figuring out her lower half.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i did these ones reeaaally recently. i looked at so many things for inspo: crabs, spiders, human pelvises, centaur speculative biology, drider speculative biology, an introspective look at how much of a monsterfucker i am, etc. until i found something i was happy with. these are within the last few days. the lil sketches at the far bottom right of the first page are what i settled on. after that, i tinkered with how she looks with skirts vs no skirts---ignore the sword, it's no longer accurate to what it actually looks like, but that's endgame shit and no spoilers :)
i'm really happy with how she's turned out and i think she's kickass and awesome and i can't wait to beat her and saskia into the ground.
and then we have:
Tumblr media
team gaslight gatekeep girlboss :)
i drew this last night!! really happy with how my art is coming along. i hesitated on whether to draw the skirts, because i think the spider legs are so fucking cool and i know logically the skirts are there but tbh its funner drawing the spider legs than the skirts :(
i want to make it very clear: belialah is submissive in the way a guard dog is submissive, to quote a post i once tagged as gilt and lost. belialah is loyal, devoted, willing to protect--but will wait for an order before acting
btw, to make something else clear: saskia? saw the demon form first. is more attracted to the demon form than the human form. is far more willing to smash with belialah in demon form. i love my weirdest little freak of a woman <3
ok that's all bye

Writer Q&A Tag Game
thank you for the tag @clairelsonao3!! you're lovely.
1. What motivates you to write?
The stories themselves. If I get inspired and like the premise, I'll write it down. From there, my passion for stories will take over and tell the story and expand upon the characters.
2. A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them)
From the first chapter of my fanfic ysbwm; This place he’s in is a different world than the one he knows. There are so many flashing lights popping out of the building, constantly moving. The cars are shaped differently and drive on a painted street at amazing speeds. These buildings, like the one Steve just ran out of, are so much taller and sleeker than what he’s used to seeing. He gapes and haltingly spins around, letting his eyes flit around him and be momentarily captivated by the movement.
3. Which OC makes you smile every time you think/talk about them and what are they like?
At the moment, Theodore, from Scars of Duty. Writing a villain character is so interesting to me, especially since their character is going to change throughout the novel and series. I'm not the greatest at making ocs and I haven't purposely written a character like this before so this is a challenge that im excited to take on!
4. What process of writing do you enjoy the most?
Brainstorming. It's a love-hate relationship though lol. I love gathering all the stuff that inspired me and organizing it though so it's both worth it in the end and satisfying. Lately I found a template/organizer for the Notion app for my writing and I'm so excited about my projects now!!
5. What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)
Honestly I'm not sure. I would say research and potentially preparation.
6. What is something in the writeblr community is most enjoyable?
I love the tag games!! I love seeing what people wrote and learning about them and then being able pay it forwards for others!
7. A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech to text, a writing program etc)
Tumblr, with it's endless quantities of prompts and the short stories that people write on here. I love it. I also starting using both Grammarly and ProWritingAid to correct my grammar after me being in denial for ages about needing them. Very useful for the editing process.
8. A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law etc)
Oooh my favorite piece of worldbuilding i like is from Scars of Duty but it's a huge spoiler so I better not say it haha. My second favorite is from Nova Futurum and it's the underground community's culture. One thing I've noticed when I was living in a lower-income neighborhood is the sense of community and how that can influence not only social interactions but also things like crime. People look out for each other and care about each other and will help each other get to better places, to the best of their abilities. And in my new neighborhood, in a different part of the city, it's entirely different. More money = more socially/emotionally distant. I barely know anyone and the weight of others' opinions matter more. It's interesting to me and I definitely will add this to Nova Futurum.
9. What piece of advice would you say to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?
Read other people's writings in a genre that you are NOT trying to write in. It doesn't have to be any particular style of literature, but something different enough from what you're working on. This way you can get inspired or even just have a break from the genre and get refreshed. It can get exhausting reading for research or inspiration.

Advice for Writing Fanfic
Assume your readers know what’s up. People read fanfic because they are, well, fans. Write with the assumption that your readers know the basics of the source material.
Don’t rewrite canon scenes unless you’ve significantly changed them. Whether it’s and AU or canon divergence, reading a play-by-play of the exact same scene as in canon (or one nearly identical with few or cosmetic changes) gets really old really fast. If there’s an important minor change, reference it in an original scene. If nothing changed and it’s canon divergence, your readers will assume it’s the same as canon. Want to rewrite an iconic canon scene in some vastly different AU? Change it up. Identify what elements of the scene are the most important and make something new that keeps the essence of those things.
Do not change your tags after the fact. To elaborate: this *specifically* means that you shouldn’t tag your fic with something only to go “ah-ha! It was a red herring!” and delete the tag later. Don’t do that. (A very dramatic example is tagging the fic as Everyone Lives/No One Dies and then deleting that later so you can have a surprise character death). Yeah, you might change your mind. In that case, let your readers know in the Author’s notes. But don’t do this on purpose.
Don’t worry about spoiling your plot. Have the greatest plot ever? Awesome! But people aren’t reading fanfic for new and original ideas (it’s transformative work for a reason). It’s great to write a complex and compelling story, but remember that first and foremost, people read fanfic to have a comfortable and familiar experience. It really really sucks to read 50k of something only to have a new tag/element thrown in as a surprise twist, when you intentionally try to filter that stuff out.
Write your summary to reflect what tropes/ships/setting your fic will have. This is part of not worrying about spoilers. Again, you may have a fantastic idea, but if you’re too afraid of spoiling it you may leave out too many details in the summary and people won’t be interested. Let your readers know what this story is about! Don’t be afraid to spoil some of the plot—I guarantee you it will make some people excited to “get to that point” in the fic. (For example, if character A secretly being a werewolf is an early plot twist, maybe don’t worry so much about revealing that in the summary?)
Don’t say you suck at summaries in the summary. Just trust me on this one. Write a summary like you’re convincing yourself to read the fic. Slap it on and go.
Stop using greenette, [color]-ette etc. That’s not done in published fiction.
Read published fiction. I don’t care what you read but read some of it occasionally. Otherwise you get used to the way that other fanfic writers write and ily all and am blown away by the creativity people put out into the world but many writers are new and learning and you’ll pick up bad habits. I personally recommend reading literary classics because 8 times out of 10 the writing is legit good. Not always, but it’s easier to guarantee good quality then just picking a random book.
Write for yourself. Yeah, whatever, this is lame advice. But it’s also true. Write what you want to read, otherwise you probably won’t have any fun. Eventually you’ll get to a point where you’re confident in your writing and you can go back and read your stuff and go “I am the funniest motherfucker in the room” and you’ll be right. (Replace “funniest” with whatever genre term applies to you. Like “angstiest”. Ignore that that isn’t a word.)
Comment on other people’s fics with questions. So technically this goes with the read published works one but it applies to both. The point is to develop literary analysis skills. When you read anything, think about it. Vague and unhelpful advice? Hell yeah that is. So if you want some concrete starting places: when you’re reading fic, ask yourself if you agree with how the author characterized your fav. Why did they act that way? Would you have written it that way? And engage with the author! This doesn’t mean point-blank saying “well I would’ve written it like this…” but if you notice a character decision you agree/disagree on or is interesting, simply ask “hey [xyz] scene/moment was interesting, why did you decide [blorbo] would do that?” Understand why authors made the choices they did in their writing. Learn. Grow. Flourish. Take over the world.
Occasionally revisit the source material. Reread or watch it or whatever applies. Dump fanon out of your head and think about the source. Please. I love you all, but please. Thank you.
To anyone who writes fanfic: I love you and thank you for sharing with the world. Hope this helps.

----------
Chapter 4 - The Last Thing Stopping Him
----------
The next day you keep yourself busy, exploring more of Jackson and introducing yourself to people. You learn some of their stories: where they're from, how they came to be in Jackson, what they do here, etc..
It has you contemplating what you're going to do to contribute to the community, though the councilwoman you met a few days ago told you not to worry about it right away. She said you could take a couple weeks to recuperate and get settled. The community would take care of you.
Being part of something so well organized and so companionable again is a very foreign feeling. It's going to take some getting used to again, but you're looking forward to it.
It's a little after noon when you cross paths with Tommy again, on his way to help with the community's livestock. He greets you with a grin and a hug. Then he invites you to dinner, to meet his wife and son.
Your eyebrows shoot upward. "You're married? And… a father?" you ask, amusement laced into your tone. "Mister New-Girl-Every-Couple-Months?"
Tommy heaves a long suffering sigh and rolls his eyes, giving a shake of his head. "Don't start on me, Eeps," he says with a warning tone, even though he's smirking. "I get enough of that from my big brother."
A faint chuckle passes your lips and then you take a slow breath. You breeze past the way your stomach does a little somersault at the mention of Joel. "I'm happy for you, Tommy. Just a little teasing," you say, with a grin. "And I'd love to join you."
He grins in return with a nod, gives you directions to his house, and continues on his way to the stockyards.
Taking another deep breath as he walks away, you exhale slowly and let your eyes close as you try to still the rapid beat of your heart.
You'd been spending the day out in the town to keep your mind off Joel, and now he's the center of your thoughts once more. Along with those thoughts, the anxiety creeps up on you again, the same mix of excitement and fear that barely allowed you to sleep last night.
Some of the night you had cried, overwhelmed with the relief of knowing he's alive and somewhere nearby; or because the uncertainty caught in your throat about whether or not he'll be happy to see you. Other times when you woke up yet again, you had just laid there in quiet thought, pulling up happy memories from so long ago that you hadn't often indulged in thinking about.
Opening your eyes again, you swallow hard and clench your jaw with determination.
You can do this. You'll make it through this, no matter how it goes, just like everything else since outbreak day.
With one more clarifying breath, you turn away from Tommy's retreating back and resume your exploration of Jackson.
Several hours later finds you standing at the door of a cute house, nibbling at your lip as you hesitate to knock. After a few minutes pass, you finally manage to trample down your anxiety and rap your knuckles against the door.
You're surprised to see the door answered by the councilwoman you met a week ago.
"Oh! Maria!" you say with a somewhat embarrassed smile. "You're…Tommy's wife?"
Maria gives you a kind smile and nods, opening the door and gesturing for you to come inside. "Yes," she responds, before a confused expression crosses her face. "But he told me your name was Eeps. That's not what you told me when we met."
An exasperated sigh escapes you. "Eeps is the nickname he dubbed me back in Austin," you say with a faint laugh despite yourself, "when it was found that I squeak when I'm surprised or…tickled." You give her a tortured look.
For a second, she does chuckle as she guides you into the house from the entryway. Then she goes quiet and her brows pinch together as she looks at you curiously.
It's not a jealous look, but you can guess that she's wondering about the extent of your past friendship with her husband. You give a little shake of your head. "He liked startling me, but he wasn't the one that tickled me," you say with a smirk.
Her expression grows serious at that as she nods and leads you through the living room, towards the kitchen. "Oh. Joel."
You give her a curious tilt of your head, brows peaked. "Yes…"
She pauses near the entry into the kitchen, turning to fully face you and leveling a concerned look at you. "Look, I don't know you well," she starts, "but you seem like a considerate person. I'm concerned, and so is Tommy, about you meeting Joel again." She holds up a hand to stave off your response when you scowl, shift your weight to one hip, and cross your arms. "Just…hear me out, please. With everything Tommy has told me about how things were, and considering how they are now, we're just worried you're setting yourself up to be disappointed."
You stare at her for a moment, shocked that someone you barely know would talk like this. Then again, she does know Tommy and Joel, and she probably didn't get to being a council member by being timid with her words. Inhaling deeply through your nose, you force your expression to soften.
"I hear you," you say simply, then add, "and maybe I will be disappointed." Shrugging, you throw your hands up briefly before dropping them down onto your hips. "But I'm not so worried about being disappointed that I'm just going to give up and not try."
Maria's dark eyes narrow a little and she studies you for a moment before a smile curves her mouth upward. "Fair enough. I can't fault you for that… too much."
After a moment you return her smile and then follow her as she turns to head into the kitchen.
"Come on," she says. "I've got a couple things to finish for dinner before Mikey is up from his nap. You can cut up some veggies."
The next couple hours pass pleasantly with easy enough conversation. You learn a little about Maria, about how she and Tommy met, their whirlwind romance, and how they balance their community roles with their new roles as parents. You also meet little Micheal, their one-year-old, immediately adoring his cherub smile.
As you get up to take your leave, Maria bids you goodnight and scoops up her toddler to take upstairs for bed. Tommy, with a proud smile on his face, watches them go for a moment before turning to you and offering to walk you out.
You make it about halfway back through the living room before you stop short, a soft gasp catching in your throat and making Tommy tense and spin back towards you.
He finds you frozen in place, a stricken expression on your features as you stare at the mantle over the fireplace.
Tommy's eyes follow yours and his shoulders relax as he sighs softly.
Tears rim your eyes as you look over at Tommy and then back to the small chalkboard sitting on the mantle, with two candles in front of it. Two names are on the board, with dates written below them: Kevin, 4/3/00 - 9/29/03… and Sarah, 7/20/89 - 9/27/03.
A lump forms in your throat and it takes you a few tries to swallow around it as you stare at Sarah's name. You don't even realize you're moving then, until Tommy has led you to sit in a chair, your eyes locked on the little memorial.
Tommy crouches beside your knee as you sit there, a few silent tears slipping down your cheeks. He waits, patiently, nodding to Maria when she comes back in. Realizing what has happened, she sits on the nearby couch to wait too.
When you finally find your voice again, it cracks with emotion. "The day after outbreak?" you ask in barely more than a whisper.
Tommy gives a slight nod. "Yeah… really early hours."
You swallow hard again and nod. Then, you hastily swipe at the tears on your cheeks, heaving a sigh. "I don't know why this is hitting so hard," you whisper in a broken voice. "I-I basically mourned all of you years ago. And… I still suspected something happened to her. You would have mentioned her otherwise."
He nods again but it's Maria that speaks up. "Suspicion is one thing, but knowing for certain can be harder sometimes."
Glancing over at the other woman, you nod again after a moment of thought and sniffle a little.
Then, you freeze for a second, your mind reeling. It feels like a rock drops into your gut as your eyes dart back up to the chalkboard memorial and then tear over to Tommy's concerned face.
"Please, Tommy," you choke out, "please, t-tell me Joel didn't have t-… Sarah didn't get bit a-and…" Your words catch in your throat, the thought too horrific to even finish.
To his credit, Tommy catches on quickly and is shaking his head before you have to finish the thought. "No, no. It wasn't like that. He didn't have to… to do that," he assures you and you sigh heavily in relief. Then, at the sad and quizzical look you give him, he shakes his head. "It's not my story to tell, Eeps."
You mull on that for a moment, worrying at your lip with your teeth as you look back up at the board. With a steadying breath, you nod and gulp against the thick feeling in your throat.
"Okay. I'll wait for Joel to tell me… if he wants to," you say, taking another cleansing breath and unsteadily pushing to your feet. After all, you thought, it's not like knowing exactly what happened would change anything. "I should get going," you say, giving Tommy a sad little smile as he rises to his feet beside you.
Saying your goodbyes again is more somber this time. You thank Maria for dinner and her hospitality. Tommy finishes walking you out, even going all the way down the path from his door to the quiet street.
Once there he gives you a brief squeeze of a hug and smiles at you, a tinge of sadness in his eyes now too. "Thanks, Eeps, for…giving a shit about us all."
You give a strained laugh, punching his shoulder lightly. "How could I not? You Millers have a way of digging into people, one way or another."
His chuckle follows you as you turn on the toes of your boots and start the trek back to your house.
You had learned something that night, outside the club.
Joel was a damn good kisser.
After that night, he didn't hold back on the kissing anymore either, and you didn't question it.
Hell, you learned the heady taste of his kiss, the contours of his mouth, and the way he liked to tease your tongue with his own, before you ever learned about things like his favorite sports teams and the best concert he'd ever gone to. That knowledge did start filtering in too, of course, but not nearly as quickly as what way you had to drag your nails across his scalp to get him to moan a little into a kiss.
Things lingered there for a long while, with dates scattered across several more weeks as you tried to fit in time together with both of your busy schedules. At least they were no longer ending with just a peck on the cheek though. The heat in the lingering kisses, or even full on make-out sessions, was amping up each time you got to see Joel, and the more time you spent together the more you liked him. Just thinking about him throughout the days in between dates often had you lost in daydreams, unable to find the relief you could at night with the help of your clever fingers, and you'd end up fighting a blush when something or someone would pull you back to reality.
One Friday night, after you'd been seeing each other for a little over three months, Joel surprised you.
He liked doing that.
Standing in the threshold of your front door, he had you wrapped up in his arms and lost in one of those delicious kisses. Then, he pulled back just enough to break it and held you there for a moment, dark eyes searching your face.
Your lashes fluttered a little before you could focus up at him, and found him with a faint, self-satisfied smirk on his lips. A small snort escaped you and you rolled your eyes as he chuckled.
Yes, you enjoyed his kisses and you were both well aware.
Then you lifted a brow at him.
His tongue darted over his lips, conveying his nervousness, despite the soft smile. "Would you… like to come over for dinner tomorrow night?"
Your eyebrows had reached high at that. "What about Sarah?" you asked.
Saturdays were normally reserved for time with his daughter, and Joel had been very clear about that. On other nights, when the two of you went out, she was usually at the neighbors' house or at home spending time with Joel's brother or one of their parents. Either way, it was why Joel always headed home earlier than you might have liked otherwise.
But you couldn't deny how endearing his devotion to his kid was.
His jaw twitched a little to the side as he ground his teeth for a second, and then gave you an uncertain smile. "I'd…like you to meet her."
A light breeze could probably have tipped you over if Joel's arms hadn't been around you.
"R-really?"
He barely nodded. “It won’t be anything fancy…”
You smiled brightly and pushed up on your toes to give him a quick kiss and cut off his nervous words. "I'd love to."
The next night you couldn't believe how nervous you were as you drove to his place, your nails drumming on the steering wheel with erratic rhythms. You had changed your clothes about a dozen times before deciding on something, even though Joel had assured you that 'casual' was the way to go.
Pulling up to the house, you looked over the two-story home and smiled softly. It was simple in design but functional, and it fit exactly what you would have expected for Joel.
When you reached the front door, it yanked open so suddenly, before you even had a chance to knock, that you jumped with a squeak of surprise.
You were greeted by a beautiful young girl with a beaming smile on her golden-bronze face, her dark honey-brown eyes shining. She said your name as a question and, when you nodded, she giggled. "You really do squeak like Uncle Tommy said. Can I call you Eeps too?"
You sighed with a laugh over the recently acquired nickname and nodded. Grinning, she opened the screen door and hurriedly introduced herself as Sarah. She grabbed you by the hand then and tugged you inside.
Still laughing, you stumbled into a small-ish living room that led straight into a dining room and kitchen, where Joel stood over a steaming pot of something, stirring it. Your eyes met his across the space, over miscellaneous pieces of furniture, and the wide smile he gave you made your heart skip a little.
His broad shoulders moved up in an amused shrug. "She was excited."
"I gathered," you said with a smile of your own.
"I'm going to give her a tour!" Sarah announced and, without waiting for confirmation from either adult, she tugged you along again, upstairs.
There wasn't a lot to show up there: a decent sized bathroom with Joel's room on one side of it (you barely caught a discreet glimpse inside), and Sarah's room down at the other end of the hall. The way she lingered with you in her room, showing you some of her favorite things and talking excitedly about her favorite music and movies, you realized that the girl was probably just happy to have some feminine companionship. Joel and Tommy didn't exactly fit into that puzzle piece.
So, you stayed up there with her for a while, letting her chatter on cheerfully. Eventually she got around to asking questions about you: what some of your favorite things were, why did you become an architect… how much did you like her dad?
Preteens aren't exactly subtle.
You gave her a slow, broad smile, nibbling your lip a little. "I like him a lot," you said, and then paused, noticing how inadequate that word felt. "Actually… I adore him," you amended with a shrug.
Sarah beamed at you and then leaned in to whisper, as if sharing a secret. "Good, 'cause I think he's a little crazy about you. He's always in the best mood on the days after he sees you."
That made your smile brighten and you could feel warmth creep up your neck and into your cheeks, just in time for Joel to call up the stairs for you and Sarah to come down.
Grinning at you, Sarah hopped up from the edge of the bed, her tight curls bouncing. She paused, a soft grimace crossing her face. "Just… don't judge his cooking too much," she said, as she held out her hand for yours again.
You laughed, eyes widening dramatically as you let her take your hand again. "Oh, great. Now you've got me scared," you said as she led you out her door and back downstairs with a giggle.
As you and Sarah settled into chairs at the table, Joel glanced back from dishing up what looked like spaghetti. “Either of you scare the other off yet?”
Sarah grinned. “Not yet!” she quipped, then she turned back to you. “Dad actually makes the best spaghetti.”
“Then I’ll take notes,” you said with a smile. You glanced up and tossed Joel a wink as he set plates down in front of you and his daughter, making him smirk and show off that dimple of his before he turned to grab his own plate.
Dinner passed quickly, with Sarah leading most of the conversation with exuberance. She told you about her soccer tournaments, a play she’d been in at school, and how much she was looking forward to a camping trip with her best friend’s family in a couple of weeks. You listened intently, asking the occasional question to encourage her. Now and then you would look over at Joel and find him smiling softly between bites of his food, either at you or at Sarah.
After dinner, you and Sarah got up to wash the dishes. Joel tried to disuade you, as his guest, but you just gave him a playful shove towards the couch and took over the task before he could come up with a better excuse. Once finished, you and Sarah joined Joel on the couch to watch some reality t.v. car show, with Sarah curling up into his side.
Within half an hour, the girl was snoring softly with her head on her dad’s lap, and you exchanged a smile with him when you both noticed. Joel chuckled and let her stay there for a little while, to make sure she was really out, before he carefully gathered her up in his arms and carried her upstairs to her room.
When he came back down, he found you standing at the front screen door, looking out at the view of the sky. He stepped up behind you and slipped his arms around you, making you squeak and then giggle as you leaned back into him.
"You alright?"
You nodded, an easy smile curving your mouth. "Yeah. Just watching the stars come out," you said with a thin laugh. "My place is too close to the city center. Can barely see them."
He nodded and you could feel it against your hair.
“So…" he said after a few moments of quiet, "I think she likes you." His voice rumbled in his chest against your back.
With a grin, you rested your head back against his shoulder. “You think so? I figured she was just a chatty, little almost-teenager.”
A soft laugh escaped him. “She is, but not usually that much.”
Your hands slid along his forearms, across your midsection, as you huffed a little laugh. Then, after a moment of thought you smiled brightly, “I like her too, Joel. She’s a great kid.”
You could feel the way his chest swelled with pride against your back and you pressed your lips together to keep from grinning like too much of a fool.
For a while, the two of you stayed like that in comfortable silence, watching as more stars blinked to life in the sky's dark canopy outside the door. Occasionally, Joel would tilt his head down and press a kiss against your shoulder or to the side of your neck, until you hummed contentedly and could feel his smile against your skin.
Glancing down at your watch, you took a deep breath and then exhales slowly. "Well, it's about time for me to get to driving," you said, shifting in his arms.
Then, you froze, when his arms tightened around you, just a bit.
"Do you…want to stay?" he softly asked against your hair, near your ear.
Your mouth felt instantly dry and you swallowed hard, eyes widening a little as you twisted in his arms, just enough to look back at him over your shoulder. Dark eyes met yours, so close, warm and intense, and after a moment his brows ticked upward a fraction of an inch.
With your lip caught by your teeth, it took you a moment to find your voice. "Be…before I figure out how to answer that," you started softly, your tongue darting over your lips. With the way his eyes followed the movement you might have melted into him right then and there, if you weren't still a bit confused. "...why now? What changed?"
It was Joel's turn to look confused, brows drawing together to deepen the creases between them.
You swallowed thickly again and let a little puff of a laugh tumble from you. "It's…not like there haven't been other…opportunities," you said, warmth fluttering into your cheeks. "Of any night, I wasn't expecting tonight with…being here," you finished with a slight shrug and a brief glance over his shoulder towards the stairs.
He nodded in understanding and let a smile pull at his own lips as he shrugged too. "Honestly… seeing you get along with my kid is what changed." When you gave him another incredulous look, he chuckled and then shrugged. "Until I knew if you two got along, I couldn't risk gettin' more invested in… seeing where this all goes."
For a few moments, you were quiet as you processed that, until a gradual smile was drawing up the ends of your mouth. You canted your head at him with a curious and playful look. "'More invested', hm?"
Joel grinned, unapologetic, and didn't elaborate. Instead, he slipped one hand up from your waist to cup your cheek and pull you into a kiss over your shoulder. It only lasted a few seconds before he broke it and whispered against your lips, "What do ya think, Darlin'?"
Your breath stuttered as you found yourself nodding eagerly, turning in his arms. Just as you were about to kiss him again, as his big hands splayed across your back, you paused and a laugh escaped you. "You know," you said, a coquettish smirk on your lips, "you would choose the one date I figured there was no possible reason to wear one of my sexier bra and panty sets, and just went with cute and practical instead."
Joel's brows lifted with piqued interest as he smirked too, blatantly letting his darkening eyes drift down over the lines of your covered body and then back up to your face. The smile he gave you then was almost wolfish before he dipped his head down to nuzzle his mouth against the hair by your ear.
His voice was a lower timbre than normal, sending heat spearing straight to your core. "Guess I better make a good impression then… to up my chances of seeing those other ones…"
A giggle tumbled out of you as your fingers fisted into his curls, making him hiss, and pulling to lift his head. "I like the way you think, Joel Miller," you purred, and then slotted your mouth to his as he tugged your body up flush against him.
Joel grumbles as he stretches his neck from one side to the other, shifting uncomfortably on his horse's saddle.
Two days of riding to get back home is a damn long time, and he couldn't be happier to see the gates of Jackson as they creak open.
It's still fairly early and only about half of the town seems to be awake as the patrol group makes its way down main street towards the stables. They're spotted a few times by residents greeting them and asking questions. No one bothers Joel though, so he nudges his horse on ahead.
He's nearly to the stables when his fists tighten on the reins and he pulls the horse up short, making the animal paw irritably at the dirt. Joel doesn't notice though, his eyes locked further down the road.
His chest starts to burn with the shallow breaths he's taking and the way his heartbeat is rocketing upward. A ringing fills his ears as he clenches his eyes closed, dropping his chin down towards his chest.
Ellie draws her horse up next to him about then, her face scrunching up with concern as she reaches over to his shoulder. "Woah, Joel? You okay?" When he doesn't answer immediately, she shakes his shoulder a little. "Joel?!"
Joel grunts, batting her hand away, and continues to focus on evening out his breaths until the ringing in his ears starts to subside. When he does finally speak, his voice is choked though.
"Ellie, do you see Maria up a-ahead? Near the grocery?"
There's a pause as Ellie looks. "Ummm…yeah."
"Is…" he starts and then pauses, swallowing roughly, "...is there someone with her?"
Fucking hell, it had to be his imagination, right? Right?
"Yeah. Don't recognize her though."
Joel's jaw clenches against an unfamiliar tremble. "What… does she look like?"
He can practically feel the questioning look Ellie gives him but then she starts listing off descriptors.
Hair color. Skin tone. Build. Her best guess at height.
His fingers tighten on the reins as every word matches his memories and a painful ache builds in his gut and claws up into his chest.
With every breathful of labored air burning his lungs, Joel finally lifts his eyes up again to find where Maria is standing about a block away.
Talking with you.
He lurches out of the saddle, boots hitting the road hard, and then he's moving forward before he even realizes it.
His voice cracks the first time he tries to raise it and he has to try again.
This time, your name comes out of Joel in a pained bellow, echoing off of the storefronts of mainstreet.

i got this ask about the golden compass but i am posting it so i can put it behind a tag to help everyone avoid spoilers (since some mutuals expressed interest in reading it, specifically).
the ask:
God I read TGC when I was 13 and I wish I could experience reading it for the first time again. I was hooked since the very first scece. Something about the writing makes you feel like you're inside the book experiencing it alongside Lyra. Lyra who's one of the best heroines ever. An icon and a legend.
AND OH TONY MAKARIOS
I was shocked the first time I read it. Stared at the book for hours like 😲. I reread the series last winter and this scene is only more horrifying as an adult.
Roger's death was also shocking I didn't imagine Lord Asriel would do something like that. One of the best things in rereading it was noticing details I haven't noticed before and I wish I had these books here with me so I could look at my annotation.
I love Lyra and Iorek I love their relationship and I still think that "sivertongue" is the most badass title ever (even more badass to be recieved by a bear). I love Lee. He's such a sweetheart and he remains a loyal sweetheart till the very end.
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the rest of trilogy! It gets so much bigger and more philosophical. When I reread it I had a hard time with TGC because I really wanted to move on to the 2nd and especially the 3rd book.
---
my answer:
agreed that pullman is an excellent writer! i'm gonna nerd out for a sec here, but he really knows how to suck you in from the first page, and the pacing of all the action, the way lyra learns information, etc. keeps you hooked. i'm so impressed by that. and i also really like how he uses parallels - for example, lyra meets iorek and pities him because he has no daemon, and soon after she finds tony makarios and sees what happens. or how she describes the bears as being at a crossroads between iorek and iofur, which they can never go back from, and soon after, lord asriel talks about how there are alternate universes where once a decision or choice has been made, it blocks out the alternative (except in another universe where those alternatives all exist.) so like, there is a world where iofur is still the king of the bears, which lyra had just been pondering while fearing for iorek's life.
and yes, i love lyra silvertongue! their relationship is so special and unique, i love it so much. and that scene where iorek tells lyra, "you tricked iofur?" and then we think iorek is about to be defeated, only for it to be a trick...! and the way lyra calls him "my dear" and helps him close his wounds. the way she says she doesn't love her father, but she loves iorek... lyra is sincerely just SO good, so fierce, a "wildcat" as pullman calls her at the beginning... i love her. i want to protect her and pan forever and i am terrified something awful will happen to him fjdaskl
super excited to start book 2 today! also if you ever want to share your annotations, i would love to hear them, seriously.

OKAY I finally finished watching through all of the Fixxiverse so far as well as Fix’s Dominion POV and.
Tumblr media
Hey. Um. Hey.
Anyways have some disorganized rambles about it that are in no way chronological and I just wrote them down as I thought about them because. I have emotions. About it all. And nobody in particular to share them with. Spoilers ahead!
Hhhhh okay. Where to start? Alright, okay, well, first off. I lost my mind at Sausage’s cameo. I was not at all expecting it and so it hit me like a train and it was so funny. I just. God. That was so good.
Like. Damn. Sausage and Bubbles are canon to the Fixxiverse O_o
I really love that the zombie apocalypse episode was the first in the series, I felt like it was such a great start that made everything else really feel like a very natural progression of the series, what with starting with an unnamed protagonist and then starting to make more and more characters as fit, you know?
Speaking of the unnamed protagonist of the zombie apocalypse. I miss him and I home we see more of him in the future.
The slow realization of, not only everything being connected in some way, but also just how connected it all is- it’s just. It really shows the love and care put into the series. No stone is left unturned there.
Fixxiverse!Grady D:
Seriously though I loooovvveee fv!Grady so much hearts floating around my head around his head hearts come into my vision whenever he’s on screen lying on my stomach kicking my legs in the air etc etc he’s sooooooo
Cal
Just. Cal. You know.
I already said it in some tags a bit back lol but Cal is to me what Grumbot is to some Hermitcraft fans
I can’t really choose a favorite character because I would just end up listing all of them but if I had to name a few that really stood out to me in terms of how excited I got any time I heard them speak, I really loved fv!Grady, Captain Dohan, The Oracle, and Fred
Okay listen. I watched Dominion in this order: Legundo, Viking, Nuke, and then Fix. When I first saw The Oracle in Nuke’s perspective, I was like ‘oh, this is a neat and mysterious character, I wonder where they take this’ (and also like SCOTT SMAJOR????), so when The Oracle showed up in Fix’s POV, then when I pivoted to Fixxiverse and he showed up there (and I learned who he was more), and THEN when he showed back up again in the rest of Fix’s Dominion POV. Listen. I just. I have grown to love The Oracle a lot.
Also I wonder; is Dominion directly tied to the Fixxiverse? Is anything with Fix in it tied to the Fixxiverse? Or is The Oracle a bit more like a being that could show up anywhere? Is it a bit more like the Hermatrix, where literally all Minecraft worlds are in the same multiverse? (Could Legundo’s Hardcore Multiverse be tied to it all as well? I doubt it, but I don’t have the brainpower to pull that apart right now…)
I’m genuinely impressed with how well Fix pulls of having a fairly large cast of different characters in the Fixxiverse, which is primarily a single player series, and he played most of said character at some point. That is not an easy task to pull off.
Fix’s Dominion musical episode was soooooo. I just. God.
Welsknight cameo FUCK YEAH :D
Fix’s megabase on Dominion s1. Jfc dude. It’s so amazing, seriously. If nothing else, you should watch his POV just to see it.
Both of his main bases, actually. They are both so god damn impressive.
Also, all of Fix’s builds in the Fixxiverse, but especially in the main hardcore (and now survival) one are so gorgeous. I am actually in love with his building style, it’s so pretty, and the scale of it all is amazing.
His custom textures too! I know they’re such a small thing, but I love them so much. I love the creativity that goes into some of them, changing the textures to use them in ways that just. It changes the vibe completely from if it were the vanilla textures, but they all still fit. In fact, they arguably fit better because of the texture changes.
I loved his ‘confession room’ bit on Dominion, especially in his final episode of s1 with Sneve. That was really funny.
Dominion!Fix is a super interesting character to me. I feel like he’s just so well played, but I can’t quite put into words all my thoughts about him. He’s like. He’s a thief. He’s a trickster. He runs from the consequences of his actions. He’s just a little guy c’mon he’s just a little guy. He wants so badly to be a good person. He has no moral backbone. He cares deeply about other people’s wellbeing. He’s The Oracle’s favorite little fella, and god he really wants to be a good person but god dammit old habits die hard and no matter how hard he tries he just keeps on falling back down, even when he knows, he knows that if he does, he will release something beyond anything any of them are remotely prepared to handle, and he knew, he was warned, he was warned, but it still didn’t matter, because he cannot escape the person he believes, he knows he is deep down, and that will always be his downfall- he’s just some little bug dude.
I also adore whenever Fix talks about his family in his videos. Like, genuinely, it’s so sweet and makes me feel all warm inside every time he does
I need you all to know how happy it makes my silly little autistic brain every time he talks about music I loooovvve it when people talk about music :)))))
I definitely have more that I’ll probably remember later but honestly, I don’t want to spend any more time on this post so this is what you get lol
TLDR; Watch Fixxiverse and Fixxitt’s Dominion SMP POV :D

Yesterday was so damn fun. First off I want to say that my husband and I have had such a terrible few days after the car accident — it has been stressful making calls, filling out forms, etc all while knowing I quite literally almost died. (I finally saw a doc yesterday and she confirmed I am totally okay, and that I really just got lucky. Wow)
We knew we needed something to give us a sense of excitement and normalcy again. So yesterday, I busted out my Rivamika shirt, wore my Scouts jacket, threw on my red scarf, and gave my husband this fanfic prep presentation 😭 He was DYING laughing when I came out w the outfit!
I told him about my fanfic, and that there is info he needs to know and learn before reading my story. He was SO excited 😂 When I got to the part about Ackerman’s being Titan DNA experiments (which is not a spoiler to an anime-only; they just chose not to animate it for some reason?) he was pretty much mind blown. I even presented Isayama’s family tree and explained the entire history of Ackermans to Subjects of Ymir to Eldians to clarify that Levi and Mikasa are not closely related, they aren’t cousins, Mikasa’s dad is not linked to Kenny/grandpa, and emphasized the 145+ generations between the start of Ackermans and the final two: Mikasa and Levi.
Moving on! After the presentation part 1, I sent him the link to my story. Forgetting that AO3 is not a familiar platform to all, he ended up reading all the tags right up front and he gasped and said “SEXUAL TENSION?” 😂 I had fun explaining to him I took this story to a much more Mature storyline to make it more believable and movie-like. He was excited 😂
Then he read the summary!! And after he did he was like “OHHHHHHH so this is why you had to clarify that they’re not linked!” I said YESSSS
The next 20 mins of him reading my first chapter was a pain in the butt because I had to refrain from wanting to stare at his face/reactions 😭😂 But after he was done he had a huge smile on his face. Basically told me he loves it (and I was forcing him to be totally honest w me) and he said that he is so impressed with how it’s written. (He is reading a League of Legends novel right now and expressed that my style of writing is comparable… basically he said he didn’t expect it to be so well written 🥺). He said he’s hecka proud of me and can’t wait to read the rest. He also said that his favorite parts were their internal dialogues, and my descriptions — he said I am a romantic (in a good way) and that the romanticism comes out 😭 I said “is it too cheesy for you?” and he said no he LOVES it 😭
I asked him if he was shocked that I ship Levi and Mikasa, and he actually (to my surprise) said yes! Only because he knows that when I’m passionate about something, I talk about it — but this, he’s only maybe heard me mention something about it once in passing. I don’t totally know his full personal thoughts about the ship dynamic just yet, but this is where my Presentation Prt 2 comes in 😂 Where I give explanation to why exactly I ship Levi and Mikasa, their relationship dynamic, canon panels and scenes of them, their parallels!
I also asked for fun “did you kind of get that I don’t ship Mikasa with Eren” and he said “Oh, YEAH. I’ve always known you hated how he treats her and stuff” 😂 I said “right? Don’t you think Mikasa deserves better????” (He also said he caught on to this because of how much I ship Eren x Historia lolol so he figured I don’t love Eren x Mikasa)
He also said “now when we rewatch AoT especially season 4, I’m gonna see Levi and Mikasa as really close/he loves her” 😭
That was the much needed fun of yesterday. It feels so good to finally have him read something I worked so hard on. We’re very transparent w each other so I felt like this was a side of myself I’ve had to hide from him, which felt very unusual. But the fact that he gets to enjoy it alongside me now is so fun!!
He wants to read one chapter a day to savor it, read comments, etc. So now I’m like awaiting day 6 when he reads the initial ~spice-esque~ scene between Levi and Mikasa 😂 I don’t think he has ever read a line of smut before so we will see what he thinks Day 15 LOOOL. I think he’ll be shocked but I think he’ll enjoy it 😂
Anyway, just wanted to share the experience with y’all LOLOLOL maybe I’ll write a series of his reactions to the chapters/story. New hashtag? #onigirihusband ?? 😂

i read bloodline ch 2 (very excellent btw and im veryyyyy excited to see more.. when you wrote how bh felt so safe with reader tending to his ankle and wanted to stay like that my heart exploded a little ngl) so i checked more of your baek tag and found that you wrote derision???!?! i have read and re read that countless times but never realized it was your url attached to it oh my god. i love that story so much more than words can convey TT i know it's 4 years old so other people may have already said or asked this (in which case i apologize and feel free to ignore this heh) but that plot is so intriguing i would definitely be interested in learning more about what their past relationship/the things they went through together that bh mentions were or what happens next etc literally ANYTHING whether it's a part 2, drabbles, blurbs, just you giving more info, really anything LOL, i just love that concept soooooooo dearly and you write it so well hhhgngn 💓
Good god, I'm just 🥺 I was literally just melting more and more with every word and now I'm basically a sentient puddle 🥺🥺
Jesus christ, thank you so much, this means a LOT. Like this is so motivating and inspiring to see someone this excited about my work, and like, while it is great when someone praises you as a writer, having someone refer to particular fics feels just so personal and you basically just made my day with this message 🥺🥺🥺
Also, Derision is one of my favorites too! I always try to recreate the vibe in some of my fics because just... it hits jackpot for me too LOL If you enjoy this kinda stuff btw, I strongly recommend Experiment series by @marshmallow-phd. It's a very similar concept as in the plot itself, and it's by one of the greatest writers too!!!!!!
As for my writing, in the case you enjoy that unsettling character vibe, you may enjoy Sweet lies or Unhealthy obsession.
But!!! Kind of a spoiler since I didn't mention it before- I have one series I am working long-term on but haven't teased/released yet, that also has this Lucky One vibe. It's not exactly the same kind, but I feel like it's going to cater to your needs as well. Although I'm not sure when I would be releasing it since it's a bit more complex of a plot and I don't want to release it before I make sure all threads match well.
Either way, thank you very much again... This is just very important and heartwarming to receive messages like this. Just, love you so much. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

AoD Head-canons
Side note: None of these are actually canon! Spoilers for Angels of Death’s manga! If you rb this, please do not tag it with ZackRay. I respectfully do not want to be associated with the ship. Sorry there’s no Gray head canons, I’m not very familiar with his character. Love you all, lovelies!! <3
Zack
His favorite food is definitely Doritos. We drag him for the soda with cereal shit but that is for BREAKFAST. All the other meals? Chips. Do not @ me.
^ Definitely has a high metabolism. That’s why he’s so skinny but eats junk food all the time.
Steals/gets magazines from Cathy to look at the pictures and try to decipher what some ads are for.
Loves horror movies still to this day. Probably gets some of his killing tactics from the serial-killers he watches.
When someone finds out he can’t read/when he tells someone he can’t read, he gets angry as a defense from his embarrassment. He’s very self-conscious about it.
He’s very distant from Eddie (and possibly Rachel) because he reminds him of the children in the orphanage he had to bury. Plus, since his floor is associated with graves, it gives him very bad memories of the children there.
^ He was like an older brother to the children in the orphanage. While he doesn’t show it, he definitely felt depressed and frustrated after their deaths because he couldn’t do anything to help them. This also adds onto why he doesn’t like being helpless.
He hates lies because his mother left him at the orphanage and said that she would come back to get him later. (And possibly that they would “help” him with his burns.)
People might drag me for this, but I personally think Zack is straight. There were no given clues that he had a male lean at all and even included that Zack thought a woman was cute for her lie about being a fan. I dunno, I just don’t think he would be all with the guys in my opinion. But of course, I STAN OTHER SEXUALITIES FOR HIM!!! If I had to say he was queer, I would definitely put my bets on bisexual because I don’t think he would get the concept of transgender, non-binary, etc.
Rachel
Rachel was named after her mother.
^ She was much closer to her mother rather than her father and learned how to sew from her. Before her mother and father started to become alcoholics (and possibly drug addicts/gamblers) they were much kinder and let her have a small pet. Hamster, fish, outdoor cat, something like that.
Rachel loves to read fantasy novels and fairytales. Her favorite ones are Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella.
Bullied at school for being quiet and shy, however, she was very intelligent so all of her teachers loved her. People most likely called her a teacher’s pet. </3
Knows how to play fluent piano.
Rachel was closer to Zack than Eddie because she was used to being unfairly treated (because of her parents) and didn’t understand why he was being so nice to her. She began to believe that he was going to manipulate her or try to pull something that would end up hurting her. So, she refused his offer on top of Zack swearing to God.
^ When Eddie was laying in the grave, Rachel was going to invite him to join her and Zack to leave the facility together and that he could bury her after Zack killed her. However, she couldn’t say anything before Zack got to him.
Rachel is self-conscious about her looks because she isn’t as “grown” as the other girls her age.
I’m also pretty sure Rachel is straight. Please don’t drag me for this-once again there are no clues that she is. The only romantic interest she even (semi) had was Eddie. Soooooo…y e a h -
Danny
Not a head canon but take it anyway. People drag him for being a pedophile, but honestly NO. This man is so sweet when he’s not going insane about eyes, please. Danny stans out there STAND UP. Your man is definitely not a pedophile. He works with children for God sake’s, he was just so excited about seeing his mother’s eyes again that he lost it. The creators did an amazing job catching his mental instability. Just because he had jumped onto her does not automatically mean he has an interest in children. <3
I would say this man is definitely a clean freak.
Has a crush on Cathy, buys her clothes, talks to her the most out of all the angels, etc.
When he’s not wearing a doctor’s coat, Danny has some STYLE. Definitely a dapper gentleman if I do say so myself. He goes out looking fine.
^ Radiates easy-going teacher energy.
Danny’s favorite color is blue for obvious reasons. Walk into his office? Blue. Walk into his bedroom? Blue. Look in his closet? Blue.
Into astrology or something nerdy like that. I say astrology because of the blue moon that he relates to his mother’s eyes but he definitely has interest in nerdy things like that.
If I were to say his sexuality, I would assume it’s maybe bisexual?? But I have no idea once again NO CLUES. Actually, I’ve seen people ship Danny x Zack which…ALRIGHT GET INTO IT!!! Altogether though, it is presumed that he has an interest towards Cathy, so I would say definitely a feminine lean.
Eddie
(The sun. The absolute sun. Perfection. We do not slander Eddie here. If you dislike Eddie, get out of here. Immediately. /j)
Eddie’s favorite flower is the poppy flower! It’s actually seen in the anime that he has a vase of them and throughout the episode, he gives Rachel a few! The poppy’s flower language means “peace in death,” so this automatically makes sense as to why he loves them so much! Here’s a picture of one of the poppy flowers from the anime and an actual poppy flower!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eddie is very insecure about his looks, which is one of the reasons he wears his mask constantly. While he does say it’s because it makes him feel like a professional grave-keeper, he also seems to be embarrassed/ashamed of his ginger hair. He never reveals his face to the girl in episode.eddie, didn’t plan to reveal his face to any of the characters in episode.0, and didn’t purposely reveal his face to Rachel in Angels of Death. He tells the girl, which I will call Elizabeth, not to look at his face while he’s making a grave, even though all she could even see was his eyes. So, he might have been insecure because ginger hair was so rare, along with his green eyes that are also the rarest eye color, and freckles that covered his face.
This head canon is a little disturbing, just a little fyi. Eddie became so lonely that he would put corpses into the freezers he had to look at them and talk to them as if they were still alive. He only chose a few because he likes burying the rest, but he couldn’t handle being so alone that he shoved the feeling of wanting to bury them aside and pretended to have conversations with them. Considering he was the youngest angel there, he seemingly didn’t like to interact with the adults because he felt uncomfortable. So, the corpses are probably children around his age and/or animals that he found roaming about.
Eddie is extremely good at math. This only makes sense because grave-work inquires a lot of math and he was seemingly creating graves at a very young age. This would mean he had a higher level of understanding in math than regular children his age and would most definitely be in advanced mathematics rather than basics. However, his spelling? Terrible. There was even this cute little comic strip from Sasuten where Eddie spells ‘because’ wrong and gets completely embarrassed about it. While he likes to write letters, that spelling would not be 100% correct.
Feminine. Very feminine. Other than his grave-keeping hobby, Eddie shows many characteristics that would usually be more feminine. Like planting flowers, cooking/baking, drawing, reading, things like that. He even appears feminine. He would probably be insecure about this also, considering he had three brothers who were “hooligans.” (As he would say <3)
Eddie has lots of nightmares about his older brother hurting him again and/or being abandoned…
^ Adding onto that, Eddie has the fear of being abandoned rather than being alone. He can easily be alone in the graveyard or on his floor, but he doesn’t like the thought of being abandoned by the other floor masters. This fear is also built up by rejection and abuse from the past.
Pansexual but closeted. He just wants someone to love him no matter what their gender is at this point. And yall can’t tell me he hasn’t killed a boy his age and DIDN’T LIKE HIM. I mean come on. Very much pansexual vibes from him. But he would never admit it.
Cathy
Obviously a diva so her favorite color is pink. Skinny legend!!!
Dyed her own hair without even thinking about transitioning it…just straight pink and blonde. I’m sorry Cathy, but HIRE SOMEONE NEXT TIME PLEASE-
Wears Gucci all day everyday.
Definitely acts extra and puts cucumbers on her eyes and lotion on her face like in the movies as she sleeps with one of those silky robes.
She loves packaged ramen noodles, even though she seems like the type to eat fancy. Nah, she’ll be electrocuting a bitch and eating her noodles while watching, like the icon she is.
Goes to every floor just to show off her new clothes and nails, then just D R A G S THOSE HOES. LIKE- “Awwww, are you an actor~? I saw you on the TV yesterday! Animal planet is my favorite~”
^ Doesn’t go to Zack’s floor because she doesn’t want to get her look ruined with a scythe plunged into her stomach.
Bisexual queen. Lucy and Danny are the only proof we need.
